Bold Spirit St II

Bold Spirit State II is an R.C. Gorman ink drawing that extends the Bold Spirit series with the same rearing horse motif, this time rendered in sharp black ink on a crisp white ground that emphasizes the wild energy of the image. The flowing mane and tail spray outward in flicks and ink spatters while the body is drawn with a few confident contour lines, leaving large areas of pure paper that heighten the sense of motion. Signed by Gorman, this state variation demonstrates the artist’s interest in how ground tone transforms the same composition. A highly collectible complement to State I and a standout acquisition for collectors of Gorman equine drawings, Native American animal art, and minimalist Southwest fine art.
