Adrijana is even more outspoken, which is the best time in her heart.

An era when artistic talents come forth in large numbers
/kloc-At the end of 0/9 and the beginning of the 20th century, Europe was in a period of relative peace. The development of capitalism and the second industrial revolution have brought great changes to society and people's lives. During this period, science and technology, art, literature and other fields all developed rapidly.

Good times are glorious times in the history of art, and the peaceful and prosperous social environment has bred many outstanding artists and new artistic schools, such as Impressionism, neo-impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism and Cubism. Artists in this period liked to gather in Montmartre, Paris. They can stay in the studio to paint all day, or they can invite three or two friends to discuss the true meaning of art in the pub.

Montmartre, Paris was the core area for artists' leisure and gathering at that time, where many famous pubs, cultural salons, clubs and dance halls gathered. This kind of bistro or ballroom where you can watch performances is called "Caballe" in French and translated into caballe in Chinese. There is no identity restriction in such a lively place, and many people can enjoy performances while eating and enjoy their leisure time. For example, Le Chat Noir, run by artist Rudolph Salis, attracts a large number of customers with its gorgeous performances, free dining atmosphere and irregular art salon activities.

Degas is an authentic Parisian and an observer of life in Paris. He captured another life state of urbanites. For example, the following picture of absinthe is presented from a unique perspective, making this scene in the painting like a casual "snap shot". The woebegone woman in the painting is the actress Ellen Andrea at that time, and the man on the right is degas's friend and printmaker Marcelin Delserre Tan. They each have their own ideas, and the atmosphere is a bit awkward ... Although they are very close, there is no communication in their eyes. At first glance, a couple are quarrelling and angry, but in fact Degas is conveying a kind of alienation, loneliness and depression between people, so readers will find the overall color of the picture very gloomy.
