About This Work |
In a series of lithographs of owls with clocks initiated in 1960, Izrailevich explored the theme of time rapidly slipping away and wisdom, symbolized by the birds. He created about ten different images in which owls fly or perch holding mechanical clocks or hourglasses. In the example here, one of the owl's eyes is itself a clock face. |
