Cholena St II

Cholena State II, a 1980 R.C. Gorman lithograph, is the warm-pink companion state to Cholena St I, re-presenting the same three-quarter-profile Navajo woman in a richly saturated dusty rose blouse against a soft sand-tan ground. Her dark hair remains pulled into a low chignon revealing the delicate rose cheek and downcast lashes, while the shift to pinker garment tones gives this state a softer, more romantic mood. Gorman signs and numbers the print in the margin. Pair this with State I for a matched cream-and-rose diptych, or acquire it as a stand-alone jewel. Cholena St II is a charming pickup for collectors of Gorman lithograph portraits, Navajo figure studies, and small-format Southwest fine art prints.
