Cézanne's Card Players Series United in Landmark Exhibition at Metropolitan Museum
February 9–May 8, 2011
Press release from Metropolitan MuseumCézanne's Card Players, on view at The Metropolitan Museum
of Art beginning February 9, 2011, will unite works from the famous
series by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), bringing together a majority of the
related paintings, oil studies, and drawings. A select group of
portraits of peasants, several of whom appear in the Card Players
compositions, will also be included in this landmark exhibition, the
first devoted to the subject. Created in the 1890s while the artist was
living at his family's estate outside Aix-en-Provence, these images
capture the character Cézanne admired in the people of the region.
Together the works chart the development of the series as Cézanne strove
to achieve the most powerful expression of his motif.
