My Last Cezanne Cardplayer
The Cezanne Cardplayer exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art closed last Sunday. But before the paintings and drawings were packed up, I made one more trip to the museum to sketch from Cezanne's preliminary sketch of the "Cardplayer in the Blue Smock. "
I enjoyed sketching and painting the Met Cardplayer painting (one of 5 variants that Cezanne painted) over the last few years, This exhibit allowed me to copy the master's preliminary drawings - which was great fun. Will this end my focus on one painting in the Met collection?
