Beardsley, a Singular Prodigy_{2025.05.24(Sat)-2025.08.31(Sun)}

Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898) was a British painter who died at the young age of 25. The sophisticated works composed of exquisite lines and bold black and white planes he painted by candlelight caused an uproar in Europe and the US at the end of the nineteenth century. With the cooperation of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the charm of Beardsley is presented through altogether 200 or so works. There are illustrations and posters dating from early on in his career to his later years such as Le Morte d’Arthur, which brought Beardsley into prominence, and the illustrations for Salomé published in the magazine The Studio, plus ornaments dating from those days.
