EDITORS COMMENTS
Edouard Vuillard's 'The Artist's Mother Playing Checkers' (c. 1890-91) is a poignant and introspective work of art that captures a moment of quiet leisure between a mother and her son. This pastel drawing with graphite stumping and erasing on ivory wove paper is a testament to the artist's mastery of color and form. The image, which is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts Vuillard's mother engrossed in a game of checkers with an unseen opponent. The black and orange checkered board provides a stark contrast to the muted colors of the room, drawing the viewer's eye to the dynamic interplay between the two figures. The oval-shaped composition, reminiscent of the works of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movement, adds a sense of intimacy and focus to the scene. Vuillard, a prominent member of the Nabis artistic movement, is known for his innovative use of color and his exploration of the concept of 'flanerie,' or leisurely strolling and observing the world around him. In this work, he captures the simple pleasure of a game between two people, inviting the viewer to reflect on the universal experience of spending time with family and engaging in a favorite pastime. The drawing's rich colors and intricate details reveal the artist's deep connection to his subject matter and his commitment to capturing the essence of everyday life. The graphite stumping and erasing add texture and depth to the image, creating a sense of depth and dimension that invites the viewer to explore the scene further. Overall, 'The Artist's Mother Playing Checkers' is a beautiful and thought-provoking work of art that invites reflection on the importance of family, leisure, and the simple pleasures of life.
