Potters Choice

Potters Choice by R.C. Gorman, 2002, a refined lithograph celebrating the relationship between maker and vessel. A seated Navajo woman with long dark hair, dressed in flowing white garments, examines a hand-crafted pottery bowl with gentle attention. The bowl displays traditional geometric designs rendered in rich ochre and dark pigments. The woman’s downcast eyes and posture convey reverence and craftsmanship. Gorman captures both the tactile quality of the clay and the quiet joy of creation. Set against a warm ground, the composition exudes peacefulness and cultural continuity. A treasured work for collectors of Gorman, Southwest pottery traditions, and contemporary Native American fine art.
