Itan no kisai Biazurī: Beardsley, a singular prodigy
Alternate title
Beardsley, a singular prodigy
Abstract
British illustrator Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898) produced an extraordinary oeuvre marked by exquisite lines and bold use of black-and-white contrasts. This survey traces his all too brief career through more than 200 major artworks, mostly from the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. It includes such illustrated works as ‘Le Morte d’Arthur’, his first breakthrough, as well as his crowning achievement, ‘Salomé’, and the late masterpieces ‘Mademoiselle de Maupin’ and ‘The Rape of the Lock’. A complete look at Beardsley’s life and work, from his scandalous success through the evolution of his last years, it also covers his sketches, prints, and colour posters.
