R. C. Gorman earned acclaim for his fluid, vibrant portrayals of Indigenous women—evocative, powerful, and deeply rooted in his Navajo heritage. His work, described by The New York Times as “the Picasso of American Indian art,” transformed modern Native American expression through rich color, form and lithography. Positioned in major collections and celebrated internationally, Gorman’s legacy remains a benchmark of cultural artistry and collectible significance.
