R. C. Gorman—The Drawings is an intimate biography of Gorman drawn from conversations with the artist’s friends, models, fellow artists, collectors, and business associates.  It profiles one of the world’s best-known and least-understood artists.

It is also a unique retrospective of Gorman’s development as an artist.  Focusing on the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, it reveals a growing universality of subject matter and an ever-increasing economy of line.  It is no accident that he has been called the “Picasso of Indian artists.”

Drawings are the heart of an artist’s work, and the forty-six pieces beautifully reproduced in this book graphically illustrate Gorman’s mastery of the medium.
