Monarch (1993) is a striking R.C. Gorman lithograph celebrating the grace of a kneeling Navajo woman adorned with delicate butterfly imagery. She drapes herself in a brilliant red blanket that anchors the warm color palette, while her profile is rendered with Gorman’s characteristic sensitivity and strength. A butterfly motif floats in the composition, suggesting metamorphosis, delicacy, and natural beauty. The sunset-gradient background in peachy and golden tones evokes the Southwest landscape and a moment of golden hour contemplation. This lyrical piece combines Gorman’s mastery of the human figure with poetic symbolism. Essential for collectors of Gorman lithographs and Southwest fine art featuring Native American women.
