Scandal And Beauty - 2020 - 7/10

Mark Gatiss guides a loving tour of Aubrey Beardsley, young man in a hurry.
Painter extraordinaire of fin de siècle Victorian London.
Everything is touched in this. Early tuberculoses, approval by Burne-Jones.
Commission for Oscar Wilde, the Yellow Book, a series of misfortunes.
Beardsley’s energy and output is breathtaking. Quite a few of his drawings remain disturbing.

I have several books on / about Beardsley. I particularly recommend the one by Stephen Calloway.
