Oscar-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler has passed away at the age of 93.

Wexler, who was best known for his work on "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" died on Sunday at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif., according to The Hollywood Reporter.

His son, Jeff Wexler, who is an Oscar-nominated sound mixer, first announced his death on his father's personal blog.

"It is with great sadness that I have to report that my father, Haskell Wexler, has died," he wrote. "Pop died peacefully in his sleep, Sunday, December 27th, 2015. Accepting the Academy Award in 1967, Pop said: 'I hope we can use our art for peace and for love.' An amazing life has ended but his lifelong commitment to fight the good fight, for peace, for all humanity, will carry on."

Over the years, Haskell won two Oscars for Best Cinematography, Entertainment Weekly reported. One was in 1967 for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and the other was 10 years later for "Bound for Glory." He was also nominated three other times in the category for "Cuckoo's Nest," "Matewan," and "Blaze." He was also given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Society of Cinematographers in 1993.

He is survived by his two sons Jeff and Mark, his third wife Rita Taggart, who is an actress and cinematographer, and his daughter Kathy, according to Variety.
