Ah-Toh (Changing Woman) is an R.C. Gorman oil pastel inspired by the Navajo deity Changing Woman, the sacred figure who renews herself with the seasons. Gorman portrays her seated with bare feet and bowed head, draped in a slate-blue mantle over a jade-green skirt, against a heavily worked charcoal-black ground that gives the figure a prayerful, almost iconic weight. The loose expressive pastel linework, soft gradations of blue and green, and her quiet, self-embracing posture make this original oil pastel a powerful statement on Navajo spirituality and womanhood. An exceptional one-of-a-kind piece for collectors of Navajo art, Native American mythology, and R.C. Gorman originals.
