Contemporary mixed-media artwork titled “Absinthe Refined” by Jason Woodside, featuring a large green Absente absinthe bottle with applied/printed bottle label, bold hand-painted lettering, splatter details, and graphic elements. Signed/credited within the composition at lower center: “By: Jason Woodside.”<br> <br> This item is in good pre-owned, previously displayed condition with light wear and surface scratches. Please reference all photos for full details.<br> <br> Frame: 19" x 25" x 1/2". Weight: 4.5 lbs<br> <br> This item is originally from the collection of liquor icon Michel Roux. One of Mr. Roux’s signature spirits at Crillon was absinthe, the anise-flavored spirit known for its popularity among 19th-century artists like van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. It was banned by the United States in 1912 amid concerns that wormwood, one of its ingredients, which contained thujone, caused hallucinations. In 2000, Mr. Roux introduced a legal absinthe, Absente, which used a sister botanical, Southern wormwood, with only trace amounts of thujone.
