PAUL CÉZANNE (1839 - 1906) Cézanne worked on the series for more than five years, starting with a huge 2-meter canvas and a multi-figure composition (1), in the second painting he reduced the number to four (2), and in the rest only the most important thing remained - two rivals, a bottle they are most likely gambling on, a table and cards. Nothing superfluous or distracting, nothing transient or momentary. Only the eternal. “Card Players” (1893).

PAUL CÉZANNE (1839 - 1906) The mature work of Cézanne belongs to that stage of French painting, which art historians call “post-impressionism”. Post-Impressionists refuse from simple fixation of light phenomena, from the transfer of accurate visual sensations on the canvas. They strive for a greater synthesis of form and color, wishing to give the image a generalizing character, to express the idea of the world in general. The unassuming motif with a banal country villa acquires a special spiritualization. Architecturally constructed, severe in color landscape “The Shore of the Marne” silent solemnity. The painting came to the Hermitage in 1930 from the State Museum of New Western Art in Moscow. “Pierrot and Harlequin” (1888).
