Mother and Child is a 1969 R.C. Gorman papercast from the gallery’s collection. The papercast process casts the artist’s imagery in layered paper relief, catching light along every contour in a way flat prints cannot.
Gorman’s gallery catalog spans prints, drawings, sculpture, and ceramics, and this work sits within that celebrated tradition. Papercasts show to advantage under raking light, where the layered relief throws soft shadows across the surface. A strong addition to collections of Native American fine art, papercast work, and the art of the Southwest.
Contact the gallery with any questions about this work; the team is glad to share additional documentation on request.
