Navajo Women St III

Navajo Women St III, a 1980 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, completes the artistic exploration of his celebrated two-figure composition. The State III iteration features women wrapped in horizontally striped Navajo blankets in warm ochre, cream, and rust tones. Set against a violet-gray background, the figures—one seated, one kneeling—embody a serene, contemplative bond. Gorman’s refinement of the composition through successive states demonstrates his dedication to achieving the perfect balance of form, color, and emotional resonance. A cornerstone acquisition for serious collectors of Gorman lithographs and Native American representational art.
