Navajo Woman St VII is the seventh state of R.C. Gorman’s landmark 1977 lithographic series, representing a mature phase in the artist’s iterative refinement process. The noble profile endures, accompanied by the white hair wrappings and turquoise earrings that ground the image in Navajo cultural identity. As the series progresses, Gorman’s layering of line, tone, and texture deepens, creating heightened dimensionality and emotional resonance. The subject’s contemplative bearing grows more profound with each revision. Against the subtle, neutral background, the figure becomes increasingly sculptural and timeless. A critical addition for collectors pursuing a comprehensive understanding of Gorman’s mastery of the lithographic medium and his commitment to celebrating Native American presence in fine art.
