Not on view

The sculptor, painter, and printmaker Zúñiga made the portrayal of women his primary subject, usually modeling their massive proportions after those of the indigenous women of southeast Mexico and the aesthetic values of Aztec sculpture. In this monumental scene, the awaiting wives of fishermen confront the sea in eerie darkness and silence, revealing the ancestral dignity of their people.
