Erich Plontke’s “The Drinker” (1910) doesn’t show a bar fight or a tragic accident. It shows something much quieter,and much darker.

In a dimly lit room, a man slouches back in his chair, surrounded by wine bottles, flowers, and discarded clothes. He’s in formal evening wear, but everything around him is disheveled,half-eaten food, a spilled drink, a toppled pillow. It’s not a celebration. It’s collapse.

But the real punch? Sitting across from him, half in shadow, is Death itself,calmly watching him from the other side of the table. No scythe. No drama. Just a skeleton in a smoking jacket, holding a mandolin, waiting patiently.

This isn’t just a painting about drinking,it’s about decay. About a man who's already crossed the line between pleasure and oblivion. The flowers are wilted, the music is silent, and the only one still in the room is the one who never leaves: Death.

Plontke doesn’t need to exaggerate. He paints this moment like it’s any other Tuesday night. That’s what makes it hit harder.

🎨 “The Drinker” by Erich Plontke (c. 1914, often mis‑dated to 1910)

Cognitive distortions are unhelpful, often unconscious thought patterns that convince us of things that aren’t really true. They tend to reinforce negative feelings and make us believe harmful thoughts that feel real, even when they’re not.

By learning to spot these distortions, we can better understand ourselves and others, and make healthier choices.

Life Change Changes Lives can help you explore these thought patterns through free counselling, creative therapy, and support.
