Paintings of Giza, Cairo: the Sphinx & the Pyramids
by Jorge Perez-Rubio

Above is another study, a more "traditional" painting from
behind the sphinx - it sits there all day before the great
pyramids and watches out over Cairo. |
The Pyramids , Giza, Cairo |
Above is the first painting of the great pyramid, now in a
private collection in New York. Part of a series inspired
by a variety of images of the pyramids and a painting by Paul
Klee of a mountain in the Alps titled T he Niesen (1915).
The Swiss landscape was painted under the influence of Cubism
a year after his journey to North Africa.
