Blue Corn

Blue Corn, a 1985 R.C. Gorman lithograph, honors the sacred Navajo and Pueblo tradition of corn through a tender image of a crouching woman in pristine white gathering multicolored ears from the ground at dusk. Deep blue, red, orange, and speckled yellow corn spill around her bare feet against a horizon washed in dusty rose, peach, and cool lavender. Her black hair is caught in a low bun with a small white ribbon, and her crisp white dress catches the golden evening light. Gorman’s meditative composition celebrates harvest and feminine stewardship of the land. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Blue Corn is a must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman harvest imagery, Native American agricultural art, and Southwest sunset lithographs.
