A silkscreen framed print on rice paper by Charles B. Greul (1923–2000), a Canadian printmaker who lived in British Columbia and spent much of his career interpreting Northwest Coast First Nations motifs. Working primarily in the 1950s and 60s, Greul was among the first to bring these designs to a wider audience. His commercial success is credited with inspiring Indigenous artists to begin their own silkscreen production to reclaim their cultural styles.

This print depicts the Salmon — a central figure in Northwest Coast First Nations culture, representing abundance and renewal — rendered in bold black formline in the Haida style. Signed "C.B. Greul" on the print. Framed in what is likely its original black wood frame with a thin silver inner edge and dark brown matting.

A companion print, "Hoho" (Thunderbird), is available separately in the shop.

Condition
Good vintage condition. The rice paper has significant natural cockling — a characteristic waviness common in older rice paper prints that develops over time. Visible in photos and does not affect the integrity of the print. Frame has wear consistent with age and use.
