Absinthe paintings: Absinthe is an alcoholic drink that's banned in various countries. It is mostly pure alcohol and people can drink themselves to death by consuming it.
It was made famous due to the artists in Paris that painted it in their work and drank it themselves. I think that the paintings potray depression in their facial expressions. The people in the artwork look well dressed and as if they are high class, yet they are unhappy. The paintings seem to show that money doesn't buy happiness and that the people are drinking their problems away.
