Art of Gambling, The

Much more than a compilation of subject-specific art, The Art of Gambling is one-of-a-kind look at the history of gaming. Featuring 120 portrayals created over centuries by celebrated artists, including Cézanne, Picasso, Munch, Leger, de la Tour, Remington, and Neiman, the best 120 were chosen to appear in this provocative visual documentation of the evolution of gambling.

Each image is accompanied by a facing page of text, providing readers with a thumbnail sketch of the artist, then zeroing in on the image itself. The 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 gambling through the ages—for the benefit of art lovers and gambling enthusiasts alike.

Includes contributions by a blue-ribbon panel of gambling experts and a foreward by renowned chronicler of 20th-century American pursuits, LeRoy Neiman.
