Dona Aurelia, an R.C. Gorman oil pastel, is catalogued among the gallery’s fine works. Oil pastel was Gorman’s most personal medium — worked directly by hand, with the velvety surface and living line that define his original works on paper.
Gorman’s gallery catalog spans prints, drawings, sculpture, and ceramics, and this work sits within that celebrated tradition. Works on paper are best framed under glass, where the pastel surface keeps its full depth of color. A strong addition to collections of Native American fine art, oil pastel work, and the art of the Southwest.
Contact the gallery with any questions about this work; the team is glad to share additional documentation on request.
