Taos

Taos, 1973, Lithograph by R.C. Gorman. This powerful composition features six Navajo figures standing together, each wrapped in a warm coral-pink blanket, united as a community against a dramatic dark brown landscape dominated by a massive mesa formation. The piece conveys a contemplative, almost solemn mood that speaks to collective identity and cultural endurance. Rendered with Gorman’s characteristic sensitivity to light and texture, the contrast between the warm blanket tones and the dark earth creates a striking visual statement. The monumental landscape and grouped figures suggest strength through unity. Essential for collectors of early Gorman works, figurative lithographs, and Native American art that celebrates community.
