R.C. Gorman Signed Limited Edition Lithograph

This is a significant work by the renowned Navajo artist Rudolph Carl Gorman (1931–2005), known as the 'Picasso of American Indian Artists.' The work features his signature subject matter: a stylized, monumental female figure. The woman is depicted in profile, turned away from the viewer, wearing a vibrant orange and red sweater that contrasts against a deep purple and lavender background. The composition utilizes Gorman's characteristic fluid, minimalist linework to define the contours of the body and flowing fabric. The piece is a limited edition lithograph on heavy, deckle-edged paper, which is a hallmark of high-quality fine art printing. The lower margin features the artist's signature 'R.C. Gorman' on the left, dated '1991', and an edition number on the right, which appears to be out of an edition of 200 or 250. The print is housed in a contemporary gold-toned metal frame with a clean white mat. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, fading, or moisture damage to the paper. The colors remain bold and vibrant, and the registration of the lithography is crisp. The style is representative of late 20th-century Native American modernism, emphasizing form and atmospheric color over literal detail.
