Desert Twilight (1985) is a magnificent R.C. Gorman lithograph capturing six Navajo women seated together on the desert floor beneath an impossibly starlit sky. Each figure wears richly colored blankets in reds, whites, purples, pinks, and yellows, creating a vibrant band of humanity set against the luminous gradient of twilight. The composition emphasizes community, dignity, and the profound connection of Diné women to their land. Gorman’s masterful handling of the palette from warm peachy-salmon tones to deep indigos of the night sky elevates the work to monumental status. A cornerstone of any serious Southwest art collection.
