Larua Gilbert reviews the little/big show Cézanne's Card Players at the Metropolitan Museum of art through May 8, 2011. Gilbert writes: "The Met's version includes three of Cezanne's five "Card Players" — an ambitious series that occupied him from about 1891 to 1896 — twelve preparatory drawings and oil studies for the series, and five portraits thought to be of agricultural workers on his estate, some of whom also posed for the 'Card Players.' That's it, twenty works. But it's enough."
