A fine, clean First Edition copy of "Aubrey Beardsley", by Stephen Calloway, published by V & A Publications for the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1998. Marking the centenary of Beardsley's tragically early death at the age of twenty five, this fine academic work traces his extraordinary life and hectic career against a backdrop of the vibrant - if at times shady - artistic, literary and social life of fin-de-siecle London, Dieppe and Paris.His notorious drawings, prints, posters and book bindings combine to reveal a fascinating glimpse of the "naughty nineties". The book also explores, for the first time, influences as diverse as Ancient Greek vase paintings, Japanese prints and European Old Masters, all of which contribute to the creation of Beardsley's own highly distinctive style. Soft covers, 224 pages, black and white and full colour illustrations.
