Night St II

Night St II, rendered as a 1977 lithograph by artist R.C. Gorman, presents a meditative reclining figure wrapped in a finely striped blanket rendered in soft gray and charcoal tones. The composition shows the figure from behind in a seated or semi-reclined pose, head tilted upward in contemplation. The striped fabric creates rhythmic visual movement across the composition, while the feathered edges of the lithographic wash suggest atmospheric distance and quiet introspection. Gorman’s refined draftsmanship and sensitive handling of tone create a deeply peaceful mood. This state variation precedes Gorman’s subsequent serigraph version and represents the artist’s exploration of monochromatic delicacy in lithographic stone work. Ideal for collectors of Gorman prints, Southwestern art, and intimate figurative studies.
