Taos Arabesque St I, 1998, Lithograph by R.C. Gorman. This refined State I version of the Taos Arabesque composition showcases three Navajo figures rendered in elegant, minimalist line work against a warm saffron-yellow background. The composition emphasizes flowing, sensual curves and graceful poses, with the figures depicted primarily through linear gesture and careful contour work. The expressive hands and contemplative poses celebrate the human form in its most essential lines. This first state represents the foundational graphic approach before the addition of color in subsequent states, making it a collector’s prize for those who appreciate Gorman’s mastery of line. A distinguished acquisition for modernist interpreters of Southwest art and fine art lithograph enthusiasts.
