EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print transports us back to the glamorous world of Monte-Carlo in the early 20th century. Captured by Sem (Georges Goursat), a renowned French caricaturist, this colour lithograph titled "Roulette at Monte-Carlo" offers a whimsical glimpse into the bustling casino scene. The image depicts a group of well-dressed gamblers engrossed in their game, surrounding the iconic roulette table. With money and bets scattered across its surface, anticipation hangs thick in the air as players eagerly await their fate. The croupier stands tall, his presence commanding attention as he oversees each spin with precision. Sem's artistic style shines through in this piece, showcasing his talent for capturing society's quirks and idiosyncrasies. Through exaggerated features and playful expressions, he brings these characters to life on paper. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print also serves as a social commentary on gambling culture during that era. It highlights both the allure and dangers associated with games of chance – from counting one's winnings to risking it all on blind luck. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this artwork continues to captivate viewers today. Its timeless charm invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with risk-taking and reminds us that even amidst uncertainty, there is beauty to be found in artistry and human connection.
