Tazzie’s Baby, 1981, oil pastel by R.C. Gorman, shows an intimate composition of a Navajo mother kneeling and cradling her small child in an embrace suffused with tenderness and protection. The mother wears a soft lavender-blue blanket while the baby is wrapped in warm earth tones. The peachy-cream background and soft blended pastel technique create an atmosphere of maternal devotion and emotional safety. The gentle curves and rounded forms emphasize the vulnerability and preciousness of the moment. A deeply moving work that speaks to universal human values of love, protection, and family care.
