“A Self-Invented, Self-Promoting, Card-Carrying Sphinx” (Overstreet)JEUX DE CARTESBy Leonor Fini[circa 1950]Original boxed set of two gilt-edged decks of playing cards designed by Argentine Surrealist legend Leonor Fini, backed in marbled blood-red and poison-green.Near fine in very good box.”Tell me one thing. I have to know. Be frank. Do I terrify?!” – Fini, quoted in Overstreet Fini’s cards were first issued in 1949 or 1950 by Acanthe of Paris, both as single decks and (as here) double sets, with an additional Joker in each deck. Fini’s face cards – black- and orange-haired Queens, Kings, and Jacks with serpentine beards, ostrich-skin gloves, and untrustworthy eyebrows – are modeled after the artist herself, Italian painter Stanislao Lepri, and Polish intellectual Constantin (Kot) Jelenski, with whom she lived in a devoted ménage in Paris from the early 1950s until their deaths. Though often claimed as a Surrealist, Fini withheld her allegiance from the group, being uninterested in the chauvinist precepts of Andre Breton. Dismissed by Dali, who asserted in so many words that talent was stored in the balls, Fini was unbounded by limitations of method, movement, or medium. In addition to her paintings, Fini’s immense body of work included poster, costume, and set design for theatre, opera, ballet, and film; the classic perfume bottle design for Schiaprelli’s “Shocking”; several novels; and book illustrations for Lise Deharme, the SATYRICON, and the HISTOIRE d’O. An uncommon original full set of these cards, with colors unmatched in later reprints.Read more: Somerville, “Leonor Fini,” The World of Playing Cards; Fini & Zuckerman, The Artist as Designer; Overstreet, The Sphinx’s Riddle: The Art of Leonor Fini.
