Twilight Ladies, 1974 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, presents three Navajo women standing in silent communion against a luminous purple twilight sky. Each is draped in traditional Bayeta blankets rendered in striking black and white patterns that create strong graphic impact against their skin tones. Barefoot and dignified, they stand shoulder to shoulder, their profiles and facing views creating a complex compositional rhythm. The bold linear patterns of their blankets contrast with the soft modeling of their faces and necks, demonstrating Gorman’s mastery of tonal contrast and his deep understanding of Navajo textile traditions. A seminal work from his early career.
