Der Pierrot taucht bei Beardsley häufig auf („The Pierrot oft the Minute“, 1897), deshalb ein Pierrot von mir aus dem Archiv („Der Pierrot aus der Unterwelt“).

"The Peacock Skirt," Aubrey Beardsley, 1893.

Beardsley (1872-98) died very young, but has achieved immortality through his work. Few artists his age had such a lasting impact and become so iconic and recognizable.

He was synonymous with Art Nouveau, the Aesthetic movement, and the Decadents, none of whom were considered quite proper at the time. Beardsley's work could be quite naughty and openly mocked the sexual mores of the time, and he also frequently did caricatures of public figures and just plain weird and grotesque imagery, all of which contributed to the controversy surrounding him. Even today some find his work off-putting and tasteless.

He was heavily influenced by Japanese prints (as were the Impressionists and may others of the era) and did his best work in a plain, black-and-white format. This image, an illustration from Oscar Wilde's play "Salome," shows the Japanese influence. While the picture is not naughty in and of itself, the play was regarded as impossibly perverse; the twisted, evil expressions on the characters' faces bear that out. The play is also the source of the idea that Salome was in love with John the Baptist, an idea now popular that is actually not Biblical.

DR. ABSINTHE es una de las creaciones que hice de las que me siento más orgullosa. Tengo obsesión con el modernismo, y cuando propusieron esto en la escuela de arte, fusioné con mi obsesión por el Dr Peste y los estilos de #AubreyBeardsley y #KolomanMoser

Haré una versión mejor para prints y cositas chachis💜

"Frontispiece to Chopin's Third Ballade," Aubrey Beardsley, 1895.

Aubrey Beardsley has a very recognizable style. He was a leading figure of the aesthetic movement and a huge figure in the development of art nouveau, as well as probably the most iconic visual artist to be associated with the Decadent movement.

While this appears to be a simple equestrian picture, take a close look at the woman's expression and the tight hold she has on the reins. She is definitely the dominant personality here.

Beardsley died at 25 of tuberculosis, which doesn't seem possible for an artist so iconic and recognizable.

From the Tate Modern, London.
