Snyder was a professor at Syracuse University in the school of Architecture. He was also an artist and sculptor who had several art shows in the Syracuse area. This particular piece was done on a wooden wall plaque and appears to have been decoupaged. It features somewhat of an abstract skull made with possibly an acrylic type of paint. It measures 16.5″ x 12.5″ and weighs roughly 3 lbs. It has a hanger on back and is ready for display. I acquired this painting directly from Siegfried’s sister, Barbara. It is a truly unique and one of a kind piece. Pictures serve as additional description. Please contact me with any questions.
