Absinthe Art

Absinthe art was very popular during the "Belle Époque", picasso, arthur Rimbaud, Ernest Hemingway, Paul voltaire, Jean Cocteau are just a few of the many famous artists that were inspired by Absinthe, some of them created classic absinthe art that are considered masterpieces today ( and back then ) which define the overall absinthe "feel" and art style.

It would be impossible to cram in such a small page all the artists: painters, poets, writers, and other who have done works which, at some point , featured Absinthe as the primary source of inspiration for their creation... But, as you will see here, Absinthe was used as an inspiration during the life of alot of famous artists throughout History.

" The shady, checkered, mysterious, and generally gossip-laden history of absinthe begins in Couvet, Switzerland in the 1790s. French doctor Pierre Ordinaire is living in Couvet, and claims to have invented an intoxicating anise-flavored recipe that he markets as an all-purpose tonic. However, local lore whispers that the Henriod sisters of Couvet have been prescribing the "medicinal" tonic for years before the so-called Dr. O.’s appearance on the scene. "
