Mask I – Monster Slayer

Mask I – Monster Slayer, 1975. A lithograph by R.C. Gorman presenting a striking stylized kachina-inspired mask with a dominant red background and bold white geometric elements. The design features concentric circles of white x-symbols arranged around white circle eyes, a prominent triangular mouth in white with red interior, and radiating ceremonial designs below suggesting the power and transformative nature of the Monster Slayer figure from Navajo legend. The high-contrast composition demonstrates Gorman’s mastery of graphic design principles. A museum-quality collector print for enthusiasts of Gorman lithographs and Native American ceremonial art.
