Trilogy ceramic vessel by R.C. Gorman, 1986, translates the iconic Trilogy figures to three-dimensional form in this striking ceramic cup or container. A matte white and grey glaze provides the foundation, upon which three Navajo women with characteristic bun hairstyles appear in silhouette, their faces rendered in warm peachy tones that contrast beautifully with the cool glaze. Gorman’s gift for capturing feminine grace extends seamlessly to the ceramic medium, with refined linework delineating features and traditional styling. The cylindrical form becomes a gallery for his figurative language, making this a prized functional art piece for collectors of Gorman ceramics and Southwest ceramics.
