Original Description
Georges Goursat, known as Sem, captures the glittering decadence of pre-WWI Monte Carlo in Roulette at Monte-Carlo (c.1910) with razor-sharp wit and Belle Époque flair. His satirical caricature style—marked by elongated, exaggerated figures and fluid ink lines—mocks the casino’s high-society crowd: women in feathered hats clutch pearls as men in stiff collars lean over roulette tables, their faces taut with greed or despair. The composition thrums with tension, the roulette wheel a focal point radiating both opulence and moral ambiguity. Sem, a master observer of Parisian elite, here documents Monaco’s playground for Europe’s wealthy, blending Art Nouveau’s elegance with biting social commentary. Though lesser-known than contemporaries like Toulouse-Lautrec, his works remain vital snapshots of Edwardian extravagance, where humor and critique dance as recklessly as the gamblers’ fortunes.
For a modern space, this piece shines in a study or lounge where its narrative energy can spark conversation. Frame it in a slender gold leaf border to mirror its gilded-era origins, and hang it against deep emerald or plum walls to intensify the drama. A medium-large scale (around 24x36 inches) ensures details pop without overwhelming. Pair it with velvet furnishings or a lacquered bar cart to echo the casino’s luxe vibe, while brass accents nod to the roulette wheel’s glint. In an office, it injects wit into corporate gray—balance its bold lines with minimalist furniture, letting the artwork’s movement contrast clean lines. Avoid overcrowding; Sem’s work demands breathable space, much like the high-stakes tension it immortalizes.
