Abraham Palatnik Two-Tone Lucite Owl.
1970s.
Lucite.
A large two-tone Abraham Palatnik double-sided owl. One side in brown, yellow and black and the other in black.
The Brazilian artist Abraham Palatnik (1928) was the founder of the technological movement in Brazilian art and a pioneer in making Kinetic sculptures. In the late 1940s (1949) he created his first "Kinechromatic Devices".
Many optical experiments followed in the 1950s and 1960s. This figure is part of the Artimis Collection that features hundreds of different figurines. Most are animals, but human and abstract figures can also be found in it.
