Two famous cafés for the Montmartre artistic community

Degas’ In A Café set in the Nouvelle Athènes

People now come to the supermarket to buy organic food; Degas in 1875 showed people, in the same spot, seeking escape, release or oblivion in a glass of absinthe. You can see In a Café (aka Absinthe) in the Orsay Museum in Paris.

與Rat Mort (Dead Rat死老鼠)-rat-mort-cafe-place-pigalle-montmartre/

In a Private Booth at the Rat Mort

Whilst the woman grins at the painter her male companion turns away.

Toulouse-Lautrec adds to the sense of intrusion by cropping him out of the frame; we only see the side of his head, his hair and his right cheek.
