Masa

Masa, 1987. A lithograph by R.C. Gorman depicting a Navajo woman with her hair arranged in traditional buns, wearing a striking pink garment that transitions through mauve and deeper rose tones. She kneels in a posture of purposeful work, her hands engaged with what appears to be woven textile or basket material rendered in warm brown tones. The composition combines elements of devotion and craft, suggesting both the spiritual and practical dimensions of Navajo women’s work. The warm and cool palette creates visual richness. A must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman lithographs, Southwest fine art, and Native American figurative prints.
