"Chouette à tête de femme" (couple carnaval), alternate "Hibou", 1953. OPP.51:268, MPP:346, WS:403.IIIb
The sculpture "Chouette à tête de femme," created in 1953, is captured in what appears to be an artist's studio. This stylized owl features a distinct, anthropomorphic face painted onto its facial disc, with large, almond-shaped eyes and full, puckered lips. Its elongated body is covered in dark, painted stripes that mimic feathers. The rough-textured work is mounted on a plinth crudely inscribed with the word "Carnaval." The grainy, black-and-white photograph emphasizes the sculpture's form and texture against an out-of-focus background.
