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.

In 1958, Rudolph Carl Gorman 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
