This splendid volume brings together the best of Beardsley's work--a rich selection ranging from illustrations for Laclos's <i>Les Liaisons Dangereuses</i> and Balzac's <i>La Com�die Humaine</i> to magazine cover designs, book plate silhouettes, title-page ornaments, and delightful mini-portraits of major composers. Also included are two photographs of the artist, consisting of private portrait studies by Frederick H. Evans.<br>Over 180 beautifully reproduced black-and-white plates capture the uniqueness of Beardsley's vision and reveal the seductive power of his art. Among the illustrations are brilliantly conceived vignettes from <i>Le Morte D'arthur, Venus and Tannh�user, Salome, </i>and<i> Lucian's True History</i> as well as enchanting creations for <i>The Yellow Book</i> (an influential British arts quarterly), and much more.<br>Characterized by bold black masses, elongated shapes, and sensually provocative figures, these works are the product of a remarkable individual style that transformed the art of illustration. Reproduced here in an inexpensive high-quality format, they are certain to thrill not only Beardsley enthusiasts but anyone interested in the early years of modern graphic art.<br>Dover (1990) original publication.</p>
