Chile Pepper Chorus Line State II, an R.C. Gorman oil pastel, is the second state of the artist’s witty anthropomorphic chile-pepper composition, re-presenting the three curvaceous red peppers in the same dancing chorus-line arrangement with subtle shifts in shading and pastel layering that distinguish it from State I. The vibrant scarlet and burgundy pastel strokes remain bold and joyous on a crisp white ground, preserving the humor and Southwest flavor of the piece. Signed by Gorman, this original state pairs beautifully with State I as a matched duo or stands alone as a collectible rarity. An unusual find for collectors of whimsical Gorman originals, chile pepper art, and Southwest fine art pastels with playful character.
