Not only are his simple, expressive images of Navajo women known and admired worldwide but the artist himself is the center of much fascination. In an elegaic text inflected with wit and gentleness Gorman tells of his childhood in Chinle, Arizona, near the mouth of Canyon de Chelly, the ancestral Navajo homeland." 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.
