This is a small painting I just finished. (Title: ‘DUST’ - 13 x 13") for an exhibition of historical and contemporary ‘Memento Mori’ paintings and sculpture at the MUSKEGON MUSEUM OF ART in Muskegon, Illinois. The exhibition is Titled ‘UNDYING TRADITIONS: MEMENTO MORI’* The exhibition will run from December 19, 2019 through March 29, 2020.
* About Memento Mori: The Memento Mori (which translates to 'remember death’) is a Medieval Latin Christian philosophy that encourages reflection on mortality, on the inevitability of death, and the transience of mortal pleasures and accomplishments. While most familiar to Western audiences through the art traditions of 17th century Europe, the memento mori appears across multiple cultures from around the world, from the Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians to the early Buddhists.
