Mask VII – Born of Water

Mask VII – Born of Water, 1980. A serene and sophisticated lithograph by R.C. Gorman rendering a kachina-inspired mask with cool palette dominance. The upper section features blue tones with white radiating pattern suggesting sunburst or spiritual emanation. The lower section transitions into turquoise and green tones with delicate textural marks suggesting water or fluidity. Purple and lavender accents add depth. The composition conveys the protective and nurturing aspects of the Born of Water figure. Gorman’s refined handling of cool color harmonies creates a work of contemplative beauty. A museum-quality collector print for enthusiasts of Gorman lithographs and Native American ceremonial art.
