The Card Players
Cézanne's series of peasant card players reduces forms to geometric essentials. The monumental stillness and structural analysis anticipate Cubism. The work explores form, space, and the underlying architecture of visual reality. Cézanne seeks universal truth beneath surface appearances. The paintings balance representation with abstraction, changing the course of modern art.
