Referred to * as "the Picasso of American Indian art" 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. * Gorman learned about the work of the Mexican social * realists: Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo. He became * inspired by their colors and forms to change from abstraction to * abstract realism. He used abstract forms and shapes to create his own * unique, personal realistic style, recognizable to all who are acquainted * with his work. While in Mexico, he also learned stone lithography from a * master printer, Jose Sanchez. He used lithography throughout his life * as a means of making original multiple images of his inspirations, often * working by drawing directly on the stones from which the lithographs * were printed. * *Retrieved from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._C._Gorman
