Night St III

Night St III, a 1977 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, presents another elegant state variation in this series exploring reclining and seated figures. The composition echoes the previous Night St II but with subtle warm peach and salmon tones introduced into the striped blanket and figure’s form. Rendered in soft lithographic tones of gray, cream, and warm rose, the figure reclines in contemplative stillness against a feathered atmospheric ground. The striped blanket’s geometric patterning contrasts beautifully with the soft, organic curves of the wrapped figure. Gorman’s delicate touch with the lithographic wash creates remarkable atmospheric depth and mood. This state variation enriches the Night series with warmth and is prized by collectors who appreciate the artist’s explorations of subtle chromatic shifts within a consistent compositional theme. A gallery-quality piece for serious collectors.
