Guitta

Guitta, 1979 lithograph by R.C. Gorman depicts a reclining Navajo woman in profile, her body rendered with Gorman’s characteristic fluid contour lines and subtle modeling. She wears a striking crimson-red blanket draped across her form, creating a vivid contrast against the warm cream background. The figure’s face and exposed skin are delicately shaded with ochre and burnt sienna tones, while her long dark hair frames her contemplative expression. The spare composition emphasizes the graceful repose and inner dignity of the subject. Essential for collectors of Gorman’s figurative works from his prolific 1970s period.
