Hopi St II

Hopi St II, 1983 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, presents the same iconic Hopi woman and ceremonial pottery vessel, but rendered against a neutral cream background that emphasizes the figure’s form and quiet presence. This state variation shifts focus entirely to the figure and object relationship, removing the expansive sky to create a more intimate, studio-like setting. The woman maintains her serene downward gaze while holding the rust-decorated Pueblo pottery, her pose conveying reverence for traditional craftsmanship. The state change demonstrates Gorman’s compositional refinement—eliminating the landscape context intensifies the viewer’s connection to her introspective moment. A must-have for collectors tracking Gorman’s state variations and figurative print editions.
