Caught an interesting book in the bookstore about Absinthe yesterday.
It would certainly seem that the debilitating effects of excessive
Absinthe consumption was a common theme for 19th century impressionists.
The painting I was recalling, "Absynthe Drinker" was of a cloaked
gentleman slumped on a bench - by Manet in 1859. Degas painted the
"lady" in 1872 (??). There were numerous other works e.g. by Van
Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec (sp?).
The common theme in my eyes is one of "loss" - despair hidden beneath a
numbing veil of Absynthe. Would appear to have had a big impact on
19th century society.
Really must have been evil stuff !
Cheers, P.
