A propos de cet article

R. C. Gorman: A Portrait; Photographs by Chuck Henningsen; Text by Stephen Parks; A New York Graphic Society Book; Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1983. First Edition. Rudolph Carl Gorman (1931 2005) was a Native American artist of the Navajo Nation. Referred to as "the Picasso of American Indian artists" by The New York Times, his paintings are primarily of Native American women and characterized by fluid forms and vibrant colors, though he also worked in sculpture, ceramics, and stone lithography. He was also an avid lover of cuisine, authoring four cookbooks, (with accompanying drawings) called Nudes and Food. In 1973, he was the only living artist whose work was shown in the Masterworks of the American Indian" show held at Metropolitan Museum in New York City. One of his pieces was selected for the cover of the exhibit's catalogue. From the blurb His story is a quintessential American success story: the poor Indian boy on the Arizona reservation who, through his talent, determination, and magnetic personality, realizes his vision of success in the glittering world beyond the walls of canyon de Chelly. A comprehensive group of Gorman s works are reproduced here paintings, lithographs, drawings, posters, sculpture, and ceramics. The volume has 53 color and 67 duotone illustrations. This large sized book, 143 pages measuring 280mm X 245mm, is in fine condition in a very good dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. A cornerstone work on this important, indigenous artist. This oversized volume will require additional postage.
