Trilogy St. II (Blue) is a 1986 R.C. Gorman serigraph representing the second state of his graceful Trilogy figure composition. The work depicts a semi-reclining Native woman leaning back in a poised, contemplative posture, her dark hair gathered behind her head and her figure defined through Gorman’s elegant, economical linework.
In this blue second-state variation, cool tonal accents distinguish the figure and garment from the warmer pink versions associated with the series. The restrained palette, open background, and softly articulated contours keep the focus on the woman’s curved posture, upward-tilted face, and quiet sense of repose. Subtle changes in color, line, and tonal balance reflect Gorman’s progressive refinement of the image across its separate print states.
As a signed State II serigraph, Trilogy St. II (Blue) holds particular appeal for collectors interested in R.C. Gorman’s printmaking process, edition variations, and 1980s figurative works. It is especially well suited to collections that include multiple states from the Trilogy series.
