This exhibition unites for the first time the works from Cézanne's series of Card Player canvases together with their associated oil studies and drawings. Also included is a carefully selected group of Cézanne's related paintings of peasants, several of which depict the same local models who appear in the Card Player compositions.
The exhibition was organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and The Courtauld Gallery, London.
It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
