Bold Spirit State I, an R.C. Gorman ink drawing, showcases the artist’s dynamic mastery of line through the image of a rearing horse with flowing mane and tail rendered entirely in energetic black ink strokes on a warm antique-paper ground. The horse’s body is implied with confident contour, while explosive staccato flicks define the wild mane and swirling tail, scattering ink-droplet sparks across the composition. Signed by Gorman, the piece is a rare example of the artist’s lesser-known equine work, proving that beyond his famous female figures he was equally fluent in gestural animal portraiture. A prized discovery for collectors of Gorman drawings, Native American equine art, and Southwest fine art originals built on bold linework.
