Discover the work of Aubrey Beardsley, a complex and intriguing
artist who shocked and delighted late-Victorian London Aubrey
Beardsley (1872&1898) is best remembered for his powerful
illustrations for Salome by Oscar Wilde. Spanning just seven years,
his intense, prolific career as a draftsman and illustrator was cut
short when he died at the age of 25. His subversive black-and-white
drawings and his complex persona became synonymous with decadence:
He alighted on the perverse and erotic aspects of life and legend,
shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humor and fascination
with the grotesque. His keen observation of his contemporaries
makes him of his time, but his distinct style has resonated with
subsequent generations. A major influence on the development of Art
Nouveau, and on psychedelic pop culture and design in the late
1960s, Beardsley&s drawings remain a key reference for many
artists today. Here, short essays on aspects of Beardsley&s
remarkable career complement reproductions of his fascinating work.
