Woman from San Juan

Woman from San Juan, 1991 lithograph by R.C. Gorman. A breathtaking composition set in the high desert landscape, featuring a Navajo woman kneeling in reverent pose. She wears a rich maroon robe and white skirt, her dark hair adorned with a white ribbon. Before her sits a meticulously rendered woven basket, a testament to Navajo artistry. The background reveals undulating red rock formations and a tranquil turquoise water body, evoking the sacred geography of the Southwest. The woman’s contemplative bearing and connection to both the landscape and the pottery suggest themes of cultural continuity and spiritual grounding. A masterwork for collectors of late-career Gorman and Southwest fine art.
