“Lisa’s Baby,” a 1998 ceramic work by R.C. Gorman, features imagery of a Navajo woman seated and wrapped in a bold lightning-bolt-striped blanket rendered in vivid red, orange, golden-yellow, white, and gray geometric bands. She sits in profile against a luminous gradient sky moving from deep cobalt blue at the top to a soft cream horizon, her face composed and her gaze directed outward with quiet dignity. Gorman’s love of traditional Navajo textiles is celebrated through the arresting blanket pattern, which energizes the composition with strong geometric rhythm. This ceramic piece unites Gorman’s figurative vision with the enduring beauty of Navajo woven artistry. An exceptional collector’s item for admirers of Gorman ceramics, Navajo textile art, and Southwest fine art.
