Daydreamer

Daydreamer, a 1983 R.C. Gorman serigraph, captures a Navajo woman seated on the floor with her back resting against a cream wall, her head tipped up and her eyes softly closed in reverie. She wears a richly textured berry magenta blouse printed with fine cross strokes that suggest a knitted or woven fabric, paired with a pale pink skirt outlined in rose that drapes over her crossed bare feet and ankles. The warm peach background dissolves softly behind her like late afternoon light. Her hair is pulled back in a smooth chignon. Signed and numbered, Daydreamer is a contemplative acquisition for collectors of Gorman serigraphs, Southwest figurative art, and Native American fine art prints.
