FEATURED ART
Pyramid of Skulls
Paul Cézanne
c 1901
Oil on Canvas
15 in. x 17.9 in.
The Pyramid of Skulls is one of the later works of French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne, who later in his life had lived in isolation and was preoccupied with the theme of death as can be seen in a number of still life paintings he made between 1898 to 1905. Some say, this is also possibly influenced strongly by the death of his mother in October 1897. Cézanne is also known as the Father of Modern Art because he showed how free art could really be by encouraging artists to explore color, shape and space without needing to make sense in a traditional way. He also bridged the way from 19th Century Impressionism and 20th Century Cubism. Renowned artists Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso once remarked, "He is the father of us all."
