Bosque Rendondo

Bosque Rendondo, a 1984 R.C. Gorman lithograph, is a moving historical tribute to the Navajo Long Walk internment of 1864, depicting two seated women draped in dusty peach and crimson robes gazing upward against a somber gradient ground of sienna, rose, and deep plum. Their heads tilt back together in silent remembrance, their bodies nestled closely for comfort, the composition emphasizing endurance and kinship during one of the darkest chapters of Diné history. Gorman’s tender contours and muted earthen palette imbue the piece with quiet gravity. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Bosque Rendondo is an essential acquisition for collectors of Gorman historical imagery, Navajo heritage art, and Southwest fine art lithographs with cultural significance.
