About the Item
Signed lower right.
Description
A socio-political play on the smoky, masculine enclave scene of a card game, seven men from all walks of life appear in a dim room, the table bearing four players brightly lit from above. The players may be read as symbolic of the class system. Clockwise, the law man with his badge, the tattooed and unshaven blue collar worker, the brilliantine white collar or upper class, viewed by suspicion by the former two, and the poor man, in his ill fitting and unbuttoned plaid shirt. These additional figures provide further commentary and social critique: From left, the disinterested or dejected, his face hidden by his cap. the center figure, who alone looked at the viewer as if daring them to make a bet or judgement call, and the studios bookie at far right, meticulously taking bets and following the score.

Landscape with Woman in Red
By Arne Kavli
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
Signed lower left.
A blond woman clad in a red blouse and skirt sits atop a blue blanket at the top of a set of stairs leading to a garden at the edge of a large body of water, with wooded hills in the distant background. Her back is turned from the viewer, her left hand and arm supporting her from behind as she gazes out beyond, her face hidden and sheltered from the sun by a straw hat.
