لعبة الورق

Paul Cézanne French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 826

شرع سيزان من سنة 1890 إلى سنة 1896م في إنتاج سلسلة طموحة من اللّوحات المخصّصة للاعبي الورق. وقد جنّد لهذا الغرض عَمَلةً من ضيعة عائلته بإكس أون بروفانس لينتصبوا أمامه أمثلة للرسم. وانطلاقا من دراسات تمهيديّة أنجز خمس لوحات طوّر فيها التصوّر التقليديّ لموضوع اشتُغِلَ عليه منذ القرن السابع عشر الميلادي، إن لم نقل أعاد النظرَ فيه. ومن المرجّح أن تكون هذه اللّوحة هي الأولى ضمن السلسلة. فبعد أن رسم سيزان صيغة أخرى في ضعف هذه الصيغة، وكان قد أثراها بشخصيّة أخرى لصبيّ واقف، حذف في اللّوحات الثلاثة المتتالية التفاصيل الزائدة ليستبقي لاعبيْن فحسب يتواجهان مواجهة شرسة.
