Rio Grande

Rio Grande, a 1981 work by R.C. Gorman, presents a woman in contemplative profile, her hand raised to her head in a gesture of quiet reflection. Dressed in a burgundy jacket and cream skirt against a neutral background, she embodies the artist’s continued exploration of emotional subtlety and figure studies. The simplified composition allows the viewer to focus on her pose and inner life. Gorman’s refined draughtsmanship captures both physical presence and psychological depth. A significant recent addition to his body of figure work, ideal for collectors of Gorman’s contemporary single-figure compositions and meditative studies.
