The Gatherers St II

The Gatherers State II, 2001, lithograph by R.C. Gorman, presents the same powerful composition of three Navajo women working together to prepare red chiles in vibrant dress. The warm sunset tones of pink, purple, lime green, and coral remain central to the composition as the women collaborate over their harvest and cutting implements. Print collectors seek both states of this iconic image to document variations in printing technique and ink application that reveal Gorman’s sophisticated approach to color and texture in his later work. A moving celebration of women’s labor, cultural tradition, and community solidarity.
