Mid-20th century Palatnik-like italian Op Art acrylic/lucite monochromatic translucent owl sculpture/paperweight
By: Abraham Palatnik (in the style of)
Material: acrylic, lucite, synthetic
Technique: polished, molded, cast
Dimensions: 3 in x 4 in x 4.5 in
Date: mid-20th century
Style: Op Art, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age
Place of origin: Italy (probably)
This polished, molded acrylic owl sculpture dates to the mid-20th century. Cast as a single solid yet petite piece, it exhibits the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic of Op Art. Formed entirely of monochromatic and semi-translucent lucite, it allows light to pass through and create optical effects. The owl's features are reduced to only the essential elements - its wide eyes and pointed beak. Devoid of feathers or other details, the sleek figure generates interplay between shadows and illumination when viewed from different angles. An unintelligible signature adorns the base (see pictures).
While the artist remains unknown, the sculpture likely originated in Italy. Overall, the refined glossy owl exemplifies Mid-Century Modern and Op Art styles in its simplified abstract animal form and innovative use of acrylic to achieve visual interest through purity of material and subtle plays of light.
