Woman with Tulip Bowl St II

Woman with Tulip Bowl, State II, 1981. In this State II edition of Gorman’s iconic composition, a Navajo woman sits in quiet contemplation, cradling a beautifully patterned Acoma or Pueblo pottery bowl. Her dark bundled hair and warm-toned skin are rendered with characteristic elegance against the harmonious background of saffron and earth tones. The state variation represents Gorman’s refinement of his artistic vision, with subtle adjustments in tone and line that enhance the overall composition. The piece celebrates the intersection of human and ceramic artistry in Navajo and Pueblo cultures. Ideal for collectors seeking Gorman state variations and Native American fine art.
