The later work of Aubrey Beardsley

Descripción

"The current popularity of the strange drawings of Aubrey Beardsley (1871-1898) marks the second apex of one of the most unusual careers in art history. Within two years after the publication of his first book illustrations, Beardsley was the best-known artist in England. Just as swiftly, with the national outcry against Oscar Wilde, his career was over. At 26 he was dead." -- Excerpt from back cover.
