This large-scale painting marks Jamie Wyeth's transition from New York City to the worlds of Monhegan Island and Southern Island in Maine. After seeing the painting at Wyeth's solo exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1980, Andy Warhol noted in his diary that "Jamie is painting bigger--more Pop--pictures now. I told him he should go even bigger." With mottled, glossy feathers and one gleaming, beady eye, this larger-than-life raven approaches the edge of the canvas with its beak partly open, ready to attack its prey.
