R.C. Gorman 1931-2005

Andy Warhol portrait of R.C. Gorman



About 11 years ago, I worked for a frame store that also sold numbered fine art prints. That year, R.C. Gorman was very big. I could see the decorative appeal of the work, but I didn't know much about him as a person or an artist. His nickname was "The Picasso of American Indian Art." I'm not sure what that nickname is referring to-- his style of art or his prolific art-making. He died Thursday, November 3.
