Background: The stunning realism that John is able to bring to a canvas is often accented with humor, surrealism, or a philosophical tone. Not surprising, from a man who has always considered himself a philosopher who paints.” What is surprising is the richness that he achieves by adapting techniques of Old Masters to acrylic paints. Attesting to his modern-day mastery are accolades for his paintings at the core of a long-running, award-winning Absolut vodka ad campaign, which was shown in New York's Lincoln Center, earned him a mention in Forbes magazine, and is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian. This original was part of Michel Roux's estate. He was the liquor icon. 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.
