Also, it's worth noting that only a small # of his portraits were painted while "under the influence" (though it sounds as if many were done while medicated).
Though I have experience with but a small fraction of his ... influences? ... his portraits definitely capture bits of the experiences I've shared. Clever.
Setting aside the artistically productive alcoholics and addicts, I assume that this is not the first artist to have intentionally dosed themselves for artistic purposes. Does anyone know of others?

- bunderbunder 14y agoabsynthe comes to mind for XIX century painters If alcohol counts, then that list includes just about every artist of the past several centuries who isn't either Muslim or Henry Rollins. Which it does, IMO.
