Dezbah

Dezbah (1997) is a serene R.C. Gorman lithograph of a reclining female figure in a flowing white blanket with delicate pink trim, rendered against a luminous white ground. The composition emphasizes the graceful contours of the wrapped form through subtle shading and line work, with the figure’s contemplative expression captured through minimal but expressive detail. This work represents Gorman’s late-career refinement of the essential human form, distilling decades of figurative exploration into an almost abstract composition. The pale palette and restraint make this a particularly sophisticated example of Gorman’s mature practice.
