R.C. Gorman created Woman and Child in 1974, a papercast held in the gallery’s celebrated catalog. Gorman’s papercasts build his imagery in layered, cast paper — a relief medium whose soft shadows give the work a gentle, sculptural depth.
Like the rest of the gallery’s holdings, this work reflects Gorman’s devotion to the Native American women and Southwest landscapes that made his name. Papercasts show to advantage under raking light, where the layered relief throws soft shadows across the surface. For collectors building around R.C. Gorman originals and fine editions — or the broader tradition of Southwestern art — this papercast is a natural fit.
The gallery ships with care and can provide further photographs and condition details for this piece on request.
