This painting, among the most famous and at the time of the most discussed Degas, which depicts two patrons at the cafe with his eyes empty, the glass front they contain wormwood (recognizable by the pale green), a liquor strong and very popular at the time, but also considered very harmful. As models Degas chose two of his friends. The actress and painter Andre Desboutin .
an opera that was defined by critics of the nasty, hateful, vulgar.
Oltre alle scene di danza, le corse di cavallo furono tra i soggetti prediletti dell'artista, amava molto i cavalli.
Questo dipinto è il mio preferito, (anche se la mia voce conta poco), in questo quadro possiamo leggere l'antica storia dei ruoli tra i due sessi. Degas con il gioco delle luci della lampada separa le due figure, quella femminile in contrasto con l'ombra che avvolge la figura maschile, i colori smorzati della lampada trasmettono un atmosfera di ostilità e tensione. Ogni dettaglio e ben curato. The man in the 'shadow has a safe attitude, even if the woman lit, highlights its weaknesses, making knees, under the gaze of man.
Edgar Degas was one of the central figures of Impressionism and the most fruitful, in terms of social and Art is distinguished from the whole movement.
The favorite themes of impressionism, were the landscapes, Degas preferred but the interior scenes, especially the figures of dancers, laundresses women to the bathroom, while the paintings were outside the subjects repeated the jockeys.
In recent years the problems of view which he suffered became worse. He spent the final years of age in total solitude. Degas
