Water Carrier, 1987, lithograph by R.C. Gorman. An extraordinary composition depicting a standing woman in a flowing magenta dress holding an elaborately decorated Pueblo pottery vessel aloft. The pottery features striking geometric designs in rust, cream, and black tones, rendered with architectural precision. The scene is set against a twilight landscape with silhouetted mesas and a starry night sky, while the ground glows in peachy and golden tones suggesting the last light of day. Gorman masterfully celebrates both the human figure and Indigenous material culture, creating a work of profound cultural significance and visual drama. A museum-quality showpiece for serious collectors of Gorman lithographs and Native American art.
