Catalina de Mora

Catalina de Mora, a 1989 R.C. Gorman lithograph, shows a seated Navajo woman from behind, draped in a rich burgundy and dusty mauve fringed shawl over a soft ivory dress, her black hair gathered in a low bun with a white ribbon. She gazes off toward distant silhouetted mesas, drawn in thin cool-blue washes, while a spectacular sunset sky fills the background in bands of lavender, dusty pink, peach, and soft teal at the horizon. The long fringe of her shawl trails onto the warm earth ground beneath her. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Catalina de Mora is a quintessential Gorman sunset image and a superb acquisition for collectors of Gorman evening scenes, Navajo homeland imagery, and Southwest fine art lithographs.
