The bird was sent by post – alive – and Mankes was delighted with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis owl appears in several of Mankes' works. He observed the animal endlessly until he knew every detail by heart. Eventually, he asked Pauwels to stop sending him owls: “the subjects are in the painter, never outside him”. This painting from 1913 is the result of that intense observation – a portrait of stoic calm and mysterious beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuseum MORE owns this iconic work and is now opening its doors for the first time for an exclusive collaboration.
