About "Skull with Cigarette - M.C. Escher"

by Accessible Art

About the artwork

Skull with Cigarette" by M.C. Escher, created in 1917, is an intriguing piece in the artist's oeuvre that demonstrates his early foray into expressionism. This allegorical painting, created with pencil and chalk on paper, presents a compelling juxtaposition of elements that encourages viewers to consider existential themes.

Escher's subject matter and execution in "Skull with Cigarette" reflect expressionist sensibilities, conveying angst and introspection. The skull, a symbol of mortality and the fleeting nature of life, has a haunting presence, while the cigarette is a powerful reminder of temporal pleasures and vices.

Despite its straightforward structure, "Skull with Cigarette" invites viewers to consider profound existential questions about the nature of existence and the passage of time. Escher's use of symbolism and allegory deepens the work's meaning, prompting viewers to consider the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death.
