R.C. Gorman, Navajo artist, rose to prominence
in the early 1970s with the emergence of the so-called "New
Indian Art Movement." His simple, yet often elegant, oil
pastel drawings of women, not to mention his flamboyant
personality and flair for self-promotion, soon gained him
national attention and a popular following. Gorman is primarily
known for his original lithographs, the backbone of his market,
the majority of which have been published by Western Graphics
Workshop. Other media in which he has worked include oil and
acrylic painting, intaglio, serigraphy, ceramics, bronze
sculpture and paper casting. Numerous posters and books have been
published on the artist.
