Description:
Throughout history, gambling has served as the subject for hundreds of compelling and robust portrayals by celebrated artists such as Cézanne, Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, de la Tour, Remington, and Neiman. The Art of Gambling Through the Ages showcases this great body of work, for the benefit of art lovers and gambling enthusiasts alike.
From a black-figure painting dating back to 500 B.C. through the great masters and up to contemporary artists whose work is available today, 139 classic pieces from more than 100 painters and sculptors appear in this epic and timeless volume.
The pièce de résistance is an insightful Foreword written by acclaimed artist LeRoy Neiman, whose gambling art graces the walls of casinos, museums, and galleries around the world.
These renderings, as seen through the artist's eye and preserved on canvas or in stone, serve as a form of "photographic" chronicling that weaves a history of the human fascination with cards, dice, and other vehicles of wagering--the most provocative and prestigious visual documentation of the evolution of gambling ever assembled.
