Tewa, 1984, woodblock print by R.C. Gorman, features a Navajo woman in a graceful backward-leaning pose with arms raised in a gesture suggesting joy, freedom, or spiritual transcendence. Rendered in warm, saturated colors—vibrant reds, golden yellows, and earth tones—the figure contrasts dramatically with the neutral tan background. The woman wears a deep crimson garment, and her pose captures a moment of abandon and celebration. The bold, graphic quality of the woodblock technique lends immediacy and power to the composition. A remarkable work showcasing Gorman’s mastery of multiple print media and his ability to convey dynamic movement and profound emotion.
