Full of repetition, pendants and series, this catalogue allows the
reader to scrutinize some of Chardin's greatest works, and to
follow the artist's exploration of some of his most arresting
subjects. Prints by Pierre Filloeul, Antoine Marcenay de Ghuy and
others demonstrate the shifts in appearance and meaning that
Chardin's card-house compositions underwent through transposition
from painting to engraving. The prints also help reconstruct some
of the occasional pairings in which Chardin's figure paintings were
staged, whether on the walls of the Salon or in the cabinets of
private collectors. The pendants include two of the most famous of
all Chardin's figure paintings, Lady Taking Tea and Girl with a
Shuttlecock. Essays in self-containment and stillness, these works
invite us to consider the nature of attention - the attention of
the painter, his human subjects and ourselves.
