Absinthe / Victor Hugo, c1895-1900 - A Captivating Glimpse into the Intoxicated World of a Literary Master
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this intriguing print by Guillaume Apollinaire, we are transported back to late 19th century France, where the enigmatic world of absinthe and its intoxicating allure takes center stage. The image showcases a sketch and text for a Guignol puppet scene featuring none other than the renowned author Victor Hugo. With his pen in hand and gesturing passionately, Hugo's presence exudes both creativity and intensity. As a master storyteller, he captivates audiences with his words while simultaneously embodying the essence of an era characterized by artistic expression and indulgence. The monochrome ink drawing adds depth to this snapshot in time, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. From Hugo's side view as he stands waist up, to the puppets that surround him on stage - each character seemingly brought to life through Apollinaire's skilled artistry. This piece not only pays homage to two literary giants but also serves as a reminder of the cultural significance of absinthe during this period. Known as "The Green Fairy" it was often associated with creative minds seeking inspiration or escaping reality through its potent effects. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported into an intoxicating realm where imagination intertwines with reality. It is here that we witness the convergence of art forms - literature merging
