My favourite period is Impressionism. I have always been touched by this Edgar Degas piece which resonates so much with my own inner feelings of isolation and addiction. The story behind the protagonists is quite interesting...httpen.wikipedia.orgwikiLE28099Absinthe

Glad you fix'd the link. Very interesting article. Also fond of Degas.
Can see why you are drawn to this picture. Same here - although I don't have addiction (other than cigs) to deal with. Still, her face shows such hopelessness... I can relate to that. There are days when that feeling comes back; still, now - I am hanging on to hope.

degas is in a class alone in his ability to inject so much emotion (and motion) into his paintings. excellent one to put in your gallery, thanks for sharing
