What a wholly electrifying four hours spent poring over the immaculate linework and nearly unfathomable detail of Aubrey Beardsley’s oeuvre. No better way to send an afternoon than basking in drawings of towering wigs, frilly stockings, queer leanings, dandy tailoring, deadly women, and an inordinate amount of secret, and not-so-secret c○cks! Perhaps rather obviously, I count Beardsley among my absolute favourite artists, and this exhibition couldn’t have come at a better time, just as I’m about to switch to a smaller format for the rest of the pieces going to Greece this autumn for my solo show, •Chimeric Herbarium•. Between this and the Paris Toulouse Lautrec exhibition, I am at max inspiration saturation — now I just need to shake this flu (hence the mask) and get back to my own inky dealings. I couldn’t possibly choose from the billion photos I took, so I decided to include some of my favourite NSFW Beardsleys here. Scroll past the first three pictures at your own peril. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9e1baPh20w/?igshid=1vql674l9iaxj -- source link
