EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Poker, 1896" by Felix Edouard Vallotton takes us back in time to a mysterious and intense evening of card playing. The woodcut captures the essence of a secret gathering, where men donning elegant evening dress engage in a high-stakes game of poker. The atmosphere is dark and candlelit, with flickering candles casting an eerie glow on the players' faces. The chiaroscuro technique adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the tension that fills the room. Each player's expression reveals their focus and determination as they strategize their next move. This image offers a glimpse into society life during this era, where gambling was both a pastime and an opportunity for social interaction among gentlemen. The candelabrum at the center of the table serves as a symbol of sophistication and wealth. Vallotton's mastery in capturing human emotion through printmaking is evident here. His affiliation with Les Nabis, an avant-garde group known for their innovative use of color and form, shines through in this piece. As we observe this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported into a hidden den filled with masculine energy and anticipation. It reminds us that even in moments shrouded in secrecy, art has the power to immortalize these fleeting experiences for generations to come.
