Beardsley, Aubrey Vincent
Born Aug. 24, 1872, in Brighton; died Mar. 16, 1898, in Menton. English graphic artist. In numerous illustrations for magazines (The Yellow Book, 1894–95; The Savoy, 1896) and for books (O. Wilde’s Salome, 1894), Beardsley developed the decadent and symbolist art of the late Pre-Raphaelites, combining it with influences from Japanese prints. Beardsley’s refined, fanciful, and often morbid art, with its masterful interplay of silhouette and outline, exhibited many traits characteristic of modern-style graphics. REFERENCESSidorov, A. A.
