Description

“A painted commentary about an anonymous romanticized woman of the harem who as chattel, dulls her soul with absinthe, the narcotics du jour. Oscar Wilde commented about the wildly popular absinthe, ‘After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world’.” – Goldman
