The Brazilian artist Abraham Palatnik (1928–2020) was the founder of the technological movement in Brazilian art and a pioneer in creating kinetic sculptures.
At the end of the 1940s (1949) he created his first "kinechromatic devices." Many optical experiments followed in the 1950s and 1960s. This work is part of the Artemis collection, which comprises hundreds of different figurines. They are mainly animals, but there are also human figures and abstract figures to be found.
A mahogany wooden pedestal is included. It is up to the buyer to use the pedestal.
