| - | The writer Felix Pyat believed that Bohemian artists were infected by a special kind of disease that he called [[artistism]]. The person infected with the disease of artistism drops out of the real world and ignores it altogether. The person who suffers from artistism rejects societal norms and values, lets his or her affairs and responsibilities go, and lives in an imaginary universe where everyday is a feast day, the colors of the spectrum lights the day, wine pours freely, and youth is eternal. This alternate universe is Bohemia, a realm of unrestrained fantasy and liberated imagination where its denizens escape the restrictive boundaries of time and imagination can run wild without limitations.[http://youngbohemia.blogspot.be/2012/03/felix-pyat-describes-disease-artistism.html] | + | |

"Les Artistes" (1834) is an article by French writer Félix Pyat, published in Nouveau Tableau de Paris, 4 , p. 7. In this article, Pyat is the first to mention bohemianism and 'artistism'.
Excerpt:
- « Le despote du jour est le mot artiste [...] C’est la Vénus du dictionnaire, une expression publique, une prostituée qui court les rues, qui agace les passants, et que le premier venu épouse sur le trottoir [...] L’art est presque un culte, une religion nouvelle qui arrive bien à propos quand les dieux s’en vont et les rois aussi [...] Au train que va la mode en France, je ne désespère pas de nous voir tous devenir artistes. Les artistes étaient rares autrefois ; aujourd’hui ils sont nombreux, au moins de nom, les uns avec des rentes, des libraires qu’ils paient, des journalistes qu’ils régalent : c’est la littérature byronienne ou l’école des cabriolets ; les autres avec des dettes, les coudes percés et les mains négligées : c’est le genre lycanthrope. La différence entre eux tous n’est que dans la forme »
