 Aubrey Beardsley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aubrey Beardsley was the most controversial artist of the Art Nouveau era, renowned for his dark and perverse images and the grotesque erotica, which themes he explored in his later work.
Beardsley's work reflected the decadence of his era and his influence was enormous, clearly visible in the work of the French Symbolists, the Poster Art Movement of the 1890s and the work of many later-period Art Nouveau artists like Pape, Mucha and Clarke.
Beardsley was also a caricaturist and even did some political cartoons, mirroring Wilde's irreverant wit in art.

Beardsley admired the pre-Raphaelites’ traditional, distant style and the thought provoking two-dimensional Japanese art of drawing, which subsequently had a sexual lack of inhibition which was unthinkable in prudish Victorian England.
Without any education in arts he developed his passionate style of drawing, averse to the social and political equalization, and not being socially engaged as many of his contemporaries.
Along the lines of the Fin-de-Siècle he cultivated ugliness to a ruthless aestheticism of decadence, like Beaudelaire did in his Fleurs du Mal.

In 1893 Beardsley was admitted as a member of the New English Art Club and appointed theatrical cartoonist to "The Pall Mall Budget." In 1894 his work was shown with Les XX in Brussels.

 Annoying the Victorians
To consider the 1890's art world in London, and the provocative illustrator Aubrey Beardsley in particular, is to view a scene that presaged important trends in 20th-century culture, when controversial art became commercially viable and when an artistic personality became an instant commodity.
Beardsley's first important commission was to illustrate Malory's ''Morte d'Arthur.'' The commission allowed Beardsley to quit his job, buy a house and mingle with artistic and literary society.
Yet Beardsley's title-page drawing, as Sturgis astutely observes, succeeded in turning Victorian principles of domesticity and beauty on their head, and his work opened up vistas that can plausibly be traced forward to the likes of Robert Mapplethorpe.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aubrey Beardsley
Young Beardsley commenced work as a clerk in the Guardian Fire Office, but at the earnest persuasions of Aymer Vallance and Pennell he entered Fred Brown's studio at Westminster and devoted his attention to illustration.
His earliest published work was a programme for an entertainment in 1888 at Brighton Grammar School, where he was a pupil, and his next in the "Bee Magazine", Blackburn, 1891.
He possessed a vigour, inventiveness, and daintiness almost unapproachable in the work of any other man. Hammerton speaks of the "serene surety of his drawing", of his "superb sense of style"' but Beardsley's love of mischief, which he deeply regretted, led him into serious faults and caused him to be often misunderstood.

Arts and crafts societies, handicraft guilds, art centres and exhibitions sprung up all over England.
Very influenced by sensual French literature and by Wagner's Operas with their themes of incest and lust, he created a body of erotic work of great individuality which was regarded as indecent by most of his Victorian contemporaries.

In the room devoted to Gertrude Stein's salon, you can appreciate two Louis XV fauteuils with needlepoint seats and backs done by Stein's lover Alice B Toklas after designs by Pablo Picasso, a regular attendee.
