A Pyramid of skulls


A Pyramid of skulls.Mortality must often have dogged Cezanne.In these times,before the medical advances of Pasteur, lives were often brutal and short. This painting so much reminds me of the Killing fields photos from the regime in cambodia. Here,cezanne captures how life has vanished to become just an object-like a clay jar, or even a fragile rock.
