Carnival Scene
1885-1888
Paul Cézanne lets loose in this sketchy, chaotic scene from the late 1880s, capturing the wild energy of a carnival. You can see figures swirling around—maybe dancing or reveling—while a giant, cartoonish face with a huge nose watches over them like a surreal mascot. While Cézanne is famous for his serious, structured apples and mountains, this drawing shows his playful, experimental side, proving that even the masters of Post-Impressionism knew how to let their hair down in their sketchbooks.
