Rudolph Carl Gorman (1931 2005) was a Native
American artist of the Navajo Nation. 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 was born in Chinle, Arizona. His mother
was Adele Katherine Brown, and his father Carl
Gorman was a noted Navajo painter and teacher,
who later became a code talker during World War
II. In 1958, he received the first scholarship
from the Navajo Tribal Council to study outside
of the United States, and enrolled in the art
program at Mexico City College. There he learned
of and was influenced by the work Diego Rivera.
He later studied art at San Francisco State
University, where he also worked as a
model. Gorman moved from California to New
Mexico, opening his Navajo Gallery in Taos in
1968. In 1973, he was the only living artist
whose work was shown in the Masterworks of the
American Indian" show held at Metropolitan Museum
in New York. One of his pieces was selected for
the cover of the exhibit's catalog.
