A c.1979 signed and numbered 8/90 silkscreen print on Strathmore Paper by Alaska artist Rie Munoz (1921-2015), titled "Raven Had Two Wives", illustrating the Athabaskan legend of a raven that fished every day, storing his catch in a cache. After he passed, his two wives lived off the fish until the supply was depleted, when they then turned back into ravens to survive. Artwork depicts deep navy blue lines with complementary burnt orange fish and a large sun. Titled, numbered, signed, and dated by the artist, lower margin. From schoolrooms to fishing boats, Rie Munoz painted scenes of Alaskan life that have become touchstones of regional identity. Piece is shrink-wrapped on board measuring approximately 17" x 24.25" overall, with a sight view of 15" x 22.25".
