R. C. GORMAN ............the prolific Navajo painter, left forever, for one of his happy sky countries, last night.

Gorman was one of the first Indian artists I admired a long time ago, when I was still a New Yorker who'd never been West. I loved his women...........tiny little faces floating above a billowing mass of solid white or brilliantly-colored garment, they were like nothing I had ever seen before.

He gave so much, to the world.

I hope he was a happy man.
