Abstract

In questo quadro, Max Beckmann raffigura il sogno del potere e della ricchezza in un casinò che subisce un saccheggio. Avidi croupier sono colti in flagrante da rapinatori armati e incappucciati e, fra i giocatori perdenti e preoccupati, un’audace frivola signora indica la carta con un freddo cuore nero che sta sanguinando. Non è solo una questione di vincere o perdere, ma di vita e di morte e ben ne è consapevole il pittore stesso che era ad Amsterdam durante l'occupazione tedesca nel mezzo della seconda guerra mondiale. Quale esperienza visse? Chi si voleva celare dietro queste figure?

Translation of abstract (English)

In this painting, Max Beckmann depicts the dream of power and wealth in a casino that is being looted. Greedy croupiers are caught in the act by armed hooded robbers among the players in the roles of frightened losers and a daring frivolous lady who points to the card with the cold black heart that is now bleeding. It is not just a matter of winning or losing, but of life and death and the painter was in the middle of the Second World War in Amsterdam during the German occupation. What did he experience? Who is hiding behind these figures?
