“Lila St I,” a 1981 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, is the first state of a two-state series depicting a Navajo woman reclining in relaxed repose, her back to the viewer and her chin resting lightly on a raised hand. She wears a coral-red blouse and a dramatically layered pale pink skirt that fans in generous folds around her form, with a single foot peeking out at the lower left. The warm cream ground intensifies the terra cotta and blush palette, creating a soft, harmonious color field. Compared to Lila St II, this state features the pale pink skirt and warmer background, producing a gentler, more luminous overall tone. A defining acquisition for collectors of Gorman lithograph pairs, Southwest fine art, and Native American figurative prints.
