This analysis of Beardsley's most characteristic works clarifies why his art is indispensable to an understanding of fin-de-siecle Victorian culture.
This book analyses Beardsley''s most characteristic works, clarifying why his art is indispensable to understanding fin-de-siècle Victorian culture. Beardsley''s various grotesque figures serve as emblems of `monstrous'' metaphysical contortion, even as his elegant designs simultaneously recuperate such dislocations formalistically. Alternating between an urge to outrage and a craving for authority, Beardsley''s elegant designs and `dandy'' sensibility effect what might be called a `caricature'' of traditional canonical meaning.
