Navajo artist RC Gorman, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 74, helped chart a new course for a generation of American Indian artists. Gorman was an artist of many mediums. His stylized images of Navajo women and Indian motifs in acrylics, oils, stone lithography, ceramics and sculpture won him many accolades: in 1973, he was honored as the only living artist to be in the Masterworks of the American Indian exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and later the New York Times dubbed him the Picasso of American Indian art.
Gorman's gallery in Taos, New Mexico, The Navajo Gallery, is forty years old in 2008. The gallery remembers RC's creativity, generosity, and joy for life.
