Le Verre d’absinthe presented in the Museum's exhibition-dossier devoted to Guillaume Apollinaire (in the modern collections) is the most monochrome of the six copies produced in bronze and then painted. The other proofs, in various colours, contrast painting with sculpture. All of them speak to us of art, friendship and the pleasure of joyful complicity.
By Denys Riout, art historian.
