Mountain Chant, 1976, lithograph by R.C. Gorman. Three reverent male faces emerge from shadow in this powerful sepia-toned lithograph, their expressions solemn and contemplative beneath ceremonial headbands. The composition suggests a sacred Navajo ceremony, with the title referencing the Mountain Chant, a central healing ritual in Navajo tradition. Above the figures stretches a starry night sky rendered with white points of light against deep indigo, creating a spiritual atmosphere of connection between the earthly and cosmic realms. The faces are modeled with careful cross-hatching that creates volume and dignity, while the minimal background directs focus to the spiritual significance of the moment captured. A stunning example of Gorman’s portraiture and his reverent engagement with Navajo ceremonial culture.
