Aubrey Beardsley


AUBREY BEARDSLEY
by Patrick Bade
Probably no artist made such an impact in such a short time. Aubrey Beardsley was only aged 25 when he died. Yet his works were already famous all over. He was hailed asa agenius. He was rebelling against materialism and morals thro his works. This artist ranked along side people such as Oscar Wilde, with him the artist shared a love and hate relationship. He was initially influenced by Pre Raphaelites and later developed his own technique, which owed much to the Japanese style - eschewing paint for pen and ink
