Aurora is a 1989 R.C. Gorman lithograph of a Navajo mother seated on the ground cradling her infant, almost entirely enclosed within a vast turquoise blanket softly striated with lavender and cream bands. The baby’s dark head peeks from her hands, and a single bare foot and a glimpse of a purple underdress anchor the composition. The dusky mauve and amber sunset ground gives the piece a feeling of twilight lullaby and maternal calm. Issued in an edition of 225 (approx. 38.5 x 29.5 in.), Aurora is a quintessential late-1980s Gorman motherhood work and a treasured piece for collectors of Navajo mother-and-child imagery, turquoise-palette lithographs, and classic Gorman editions.
