Rudolph Carl Gorman was a Navajo Indian who was born on
the Reservation in Chinle Arizona in 1932. His grandmother,
who told him enumerable stories about Navajo legends raised
him. In 1958 Gorman received the first scholarship given by the
Navajo tribe to study outside the United States. Gorman studied
in Mexico City and received exposure to the extraordinary art of
Zuniga, Tamayo, Rivera and Siqueiros. It was during this period
that Gorman began his transition to figurative drawing. He
began creating brilliantly costumed Navajo women working at
their daily chores. In 1973 he was the only living artist to be
included at the "Masterworks of the American Indian" show at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Gorman's work is
in many prestigious museum collections including: Heard
Museum, Phoenix, AZ; Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa, OK and the
Department of the Interior, Washington, DC.
The world renowned Navajo artist, R.C. Gorman died of
pneumonia on Thursday, November 3, 2005 at 12:20 pm MST,
after a lengthy illness. Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico
made the announcement at a news conference in Santa Fe.

Gorman was legendary for his drawings, paintings and
sculptures of colorful, blanketed, generously sized women.

greatest inspiration.”New Mexico Cultural Affairs Secretary

Stuart Ashman said that “Gorman will be remembered as one of
the greatest Native American artists.”
