Cassandra

Cassandra, a 2003 R.C. Gorman lithograph, depicts a seated Navajo woman in a richly striped crimson and lavender rebozo draped over a soft pink skirt, her bare feet peeking from under the folds. Before her, a cascade of creamy yellow and white trumpet-shaped datura flowers bloom against deep emerald leaves, their gentle curves echoing the folds of her robe. The saturated ultramarine-blue background gives the piece a regal, almost nocturnal intensity. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Cassandra is a late-career Gorman highlight that fuses bold color blocking with the artist’s signature tenderness. A must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman floral imagery, Southwest datura art, and fine art lithographs from the artist’s final decade.
