R.C. Gorman created Mother and Child in 1984, a papercast held in the gallery’s celebrated catalog. Gorman’s papercasts build his imagery in layered, cast paper — a relief medium whose soft shadows give the work a gentle, sculptural depth.
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.
Questions about this piece — condition, framing, or display — are welcome; the gallery team is happy to help.
