Rudolph Carl Gorman [1931-2005] was born and raised on the Navajo reservation in Chinle, Arizona and it is known that he attended schools in Arizona, California, and Mexico City, but he preferred simply to say, "I'm self-taught." He was influenced by Mexican social realist artists. He worked in painting, sculpture, ceramics, and stone lithography. Women predominate in Gorman?s drawings and lithos. In that regard he stated, "women are a constant challenge, because their infinite variety invites an even greater infinity of interpretations. I have a preference for the ample woman. Her figure occupies space softly, with a kind of monumental fullness.".

Store Description

Welcome to the books platform of Marc Sena Carrel. I operated a professional book business between 2003 and 2017 in the San Francisco Bay Area, including via AbeBooks, and I am now a private party selling off fine books from my personal collection. I carry a choice selection of books, prints and ephemera for the discriminating customer. I focus on scholarly and antiquarian books, with a special emphasis on art books. From time to time I also offer original prints, including but not limited to antique Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Additionally I go in for occasional ephemera. Currently on offer via Abebooks are select titles. My selection is more eclectic and off the beaten path than mainstream and predictable. Please e-mail me at marcsenacarrel@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to be of service. Thank you.
