Earth Child St I

Earth Child State I (1979) by R.C. Gorman, a tender lithograph of a Navajo mother cradling her infant, both wrapped in warm terracotta and rust-red blanket against a neutral cream background. The mother’s face is serene and protective, her gaze soft upon the child. The composition emphasizes the bond between mother and child, with graceful curved lines defining the enveloping blanket and the intimate embrace. This is State I of the series, showcasing Gorman’s original vision in warm reddish tones. The minimalist background focuses all attention on the profound relationship between mother and child. Essential for collectors of Gorman’s iconic mother-and-child series and Native American maternal art.
