Cocheta St II

Cocheta State II, a 1979 R.C. Gorman serigraph, continues the series with a seated bare-chested Navajo woman in saffron yellow pants, head tilted back toward the light as she cradles a brown bowl of yellow-green pears on the peach-toned ground. Scattered pears rest around her in soft warm shadow. Gorman works the figure in graded peach and sienna flesh tones against a unified apricot field, letting the weight of the sculptural pose and the simple still life carry the composition. Her lifted chin, the offered bowl, and the ripe harvest form a quiet meditation on stillness and abundance. A must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman serigraphs, Southwest fine art, and Native American figurative prints.
