Courtauld 09 Georges Seurat - Young Woman Powdering Herself  [12 of 15]


9. Paul Cezanne - Card Players. 1890-92, 56 x 69 cm. Le père Alexandre sits upright and puffs on his pipe as he faces down his opponent. There is a cool authority to the way he stands. He's all tubes; his tall round hat, long face, sleeves, all have a mathematical roundness, making him the human equivalent of a Cézanne landscape - like the rocks, he's burned down to geometry.
