Vera Rohkhlina
"Card Players", 1919

In 1919, Vera Rohkhlina created a rare early example of Cubism. She masterfully deconstructed the figures into geometric forms, merging the avant-garde spirit with deep, resonant tones. In 2008, the canvas sold at Christie's for a record $4,054,111—eight times higher than expert estimates!

Life is like a card game played without knowing the rules.

— Pyotr Kapitsa
