The Radiance of My People (Native American Navajo Artist)

Flat-Signed by the artist on the half-title. 170 illustrations, including 127 plates in full color, most full-page. "R.C. Gorman is one of the most widely recognized personalities in art. 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. He was also an avid lover of cuisine, authoring four cookbooks, (with accompanying drawings) called Nudes and Food. .
