The drink was banned from much of Europe and the United States in the early 1900s but thankfully those dark days are over.Medium: Fine Art Giclee on Paper (As Shown) and Canvas. In a Café continued to spark conversation long after these exhibitions and even became the unofficial poster for the movement seeking to ban absinthe. Nothing like a little scandal to kick off your art shopping spree. Art buyer Isaac de Camondo liked the commotion so much he purchased In a Café and added it to his collection of Degas that included The Dance Class and The Tub. Weirdly enough, critics who previously trash-talked the painting at its first exhibition came to its defense in England, saying it demonstrated Degas’ artistic discipline. Twenty years later In a Café was presented at an exhibition in England where viewers practically booed the painting off the easel, unaware that Degas had already moved onto different subjects and an entirely different artistic style. She considered this damaging to her reputation- indeed, many viewers and critics did not refrain from calling her a “drunk” or a “whore.” Ouch. As you can imagine Andrée was more than a little upset when Degas dressed her up in prostitute’s clothing and placed the cup of green liquid in front of her instead of Desboutin. So he painted a pair of awkward lovers using two friends for models: Ellen Andrée, a theater actress and Impressionist model, and Marcellin Desboutin, a printmaking hipster-turned-painter.īoth Andrée and Desboutin were popular Parisian socialites unaware that the semi-portrait would be capable of causing a public uproar. He initially wanted to recreate an earlier painting titled Woman in a Cafe, but realized the lone figure could be perceived as a model and therefore take away from the realism of the scene. Degas didn’t want to stir up any controversy he just wanted to depict an unhappy couple trying to fix their problems with something considerably cheaper and more accessible than therapy- alcohol.ĭegas didn’t have a particular narrative in mind but knew he wanted to authentically portray Paris’ urban environment, one of his favorite subjects. Absinthe (also known as La Fée Verte or ‘the green fairy’) was a green coloured, highly alcoholic spirit. The uproar surrounding the painting was pretty weird considering the drink was incredibly popular at the time. This scene was both typical and topical in Degas’s time. Originally titled Dans un Café ( In a Café), this ill-received painting is now more commonly known as L’Absinthe ( Absinthe) for the mysterious green liquid in front of the painting’s downtrodden heroine.
What Degas intended to be a painting of bohemians at a coffee shop became a controversial depiction of alcoholism.
