Dez-bah (1974) is an early R.C. Gorman lithograph presenting the back view of a figure wrapped in a brilliant saffron yellow blanket with striking red geometric patterns, set against an earthy orange-tan background. The composition’s rear perspective and minimalist approach suggest introspection and cultural identity expressed through textile patterns. The bold color contrast and confident line work reveal Gorman’s artistic maturity even in this relatively early work. The geometric patterning references traditional Navajo weaving, a recurring motif in Gorman’s oeuvre that connects his modernist sensibility with deep cultural roots.
