The Card Players - Paul Cézanne
The "The Card Players" series is one of the most important and famous works Cézanne has worked on for many years. While Cézanne describes a scene from everyday life, he creates a composition that aims to show the figure in space. It makes five versions of this scene. In the second version, it reduces the number of people from five to four and in the last three pictures from four to two. These paintings are also important in terms of the development of the painter.
