Santa Fe Woman St II

Santa Fe Woman, State II, 1978, Lithograph by R.C. Gorman. In this state variation, the woman seated from behind again gazes back over her shoulder with quiet introspection. Her long black hair flows freely, and she is draped in the same deep crimson shawl that anchors the composition with its rich color. The cream-colored garment beneath provides gentle luminosity. The beige ground remains constant and supportive. This state shows subtle refinements to the woman’s pose and the subtle interplay of fabric and form. The work remains a masterpiece of Gorman’s ability to convey inner life through gesture and color. Essential for collectors pursuing comprehensive Gorman coverage and understanding his iterative process.
