Description
After Lucas van Leyden.
After climbing with pins, it's time for the descent. The contemplation of paintings presenting card players suggested to me a kind of slide which would materialize the trajectory of the card held in the raised hand until it is placed on the gaming table. This time the allegorical model of the viewer is initially jostled, and exposed in her inability to appreciate the vision of the paintings. Many genre scenes featuring card players show ambiguous relationships between men and women, some based on domination, at least through the gaze. After the pivot point of the fall, I propose the reconstruction of another look articulated to an evolution in the choice of paintings. As before, several evolutionary processes punctuate this sequence of 20 images; To you to discover them.
Thank you for the view and your comments.

I found "The Card Players" and can see that the young fellow has a "king". Is he the winner of the lady's affections? I notice that our contemporary lady sliding down the playing card chute is becoming less well dressed, coming unbuttoned...
This is a fun and provocative series of pictures! =)

I chose this painting because it places a woman in the center of the players, as their equal. Besides, I had fun proposing a direct comparison between the head of this woman and that of the Queen of Hearts. The "hand-slide" has a decreasing force with each frame in this first part, to accompany the fall and the striptease of the protagonist who I imagine as a room supervisor in a museum. It's a sort of allegory of the laying bare of the official gaze on art.
