Turquoise Woman, 1978 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, captures a Navajo woman in profile, her dark hair gathered in a traditional bun, adorned with striking turquoise earrings that catch subtle light. She is wrapped in a muted terracotta-toned Bayeta blanket with soft, organic texture suggested through careful gradations. The neutral background transitions subtly to lavender at the base, creating a gentle atmospheric perspective. Her stately bearing and contemplative gaze embody the dignity and quiet strength Gorman associates with Navajo women. This work exemplifies his mastery of the profile view and his ability to convey cultural identity through jewelry and textile details.
