For your consideration is this lot of art and photographs of and by Native American Indians. The first piece is "Desert Twilight" by R.C. Gorman. R.C. Gorman (1931 - 2005) was a Navajo artist, who rose to prominence in the early 1970s with the emergence of the so-called "New Indian Art Movement." His simple, yet often elegant, oil pastel drawings of women soon gained him national attention and a popular following. Desert Twilight was done in 91 different colors. This lithograph is matted and framed in an acrylic frame. This lithograph comes with provenance from Western Graphics Workshop Inc. on the back. The visible art measures 9 3/4" x 7 1/4" and the whole piece measures 13 3/4" x 11 1/4" and is in fair condition, with a sag in part of the matting. The next piece is a print by James L. Vlasaty of Cheyenne Chief Dull Knife. The print is loose in a matted frame that shows some marks of damage. The print has a small hole in the top showing in the buffalo headdress. The piece measures 14 3/4" x 11 3/4". The next piece is a lithograph of "Mojave Indians" by H. B. Möllhausen. This lithograph was originally from U.S.P.R.R. Exp & Surveys 35th Parallel Indian Report.
