Desert Women (1976) presents three Navajo figures in flowing blankets positioned across a flat, expansive desert plain rendered in muted earth tones and pinks. This lithograph exemplifies Gorman’s minimalist approach to composition, with spare line work defining the figures’ forms and folds of fabric. The horizontal expanse of the landscape emphasizes the smallness yet strength of the human presence, while the neutral palette of browns, pinks, and pale creams creates an intimate, almost archival quality. A study in human form and the vast land, reflective of Gorman’s artistic maturity in the mid-1970s.
