Description
Explore the complex intersection of art and addiction in late 19th-century Paris. This volume from the Intoxicating Histories series examines how visual culture shaped the perception of morphine use between 1870 and 1914. While the reality of France's addiction crisis involved a high proportion of male medical professionals, the era's art told a different story. Through a study of oil paintings, caricatures, and lithographs, this book analyzes how artists like Pablo Picasso, Eugene Grasset, and Theodore Steinlen portrayed the morphine addict. Rather than reflecting medical truth, these artists frequently depicted addicts as deviant female figures to elicit shock and sensation. This work provides a deep look into how visual media can distort social realities and gender norms during a period of significant medical and cultural change in Europe.
