{"product_id":"aubrey-beardsley-decadence-desire","title":"Aubrey Beardsley: Decadence \u0026 Desire","description":"\u003cp\u003eAubrey Beardsley could make a few sweeping lines feel as charged as a densely painted scene. Jan Marsh’s illustrated introduction explores the drawings and prints of an artist whose elegant surfaces carry a sharp sense of provocation, theatricality and wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 110 illustrations drawn from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collections introduce Beardsley’s distinctive graphic language. Mythology, poetry and drama provide subjects for images in which areas of black and white, decorative patterns and expressive contours do much of the storytelling. The selection offers an opportunity to look closely at the invention behind his instantly recognisable style and its connection with Art Nouveau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 144-page hardback is a focused introduction for readers interested in illustration, decadent art and the visual culture of the late nineteenth century. It is especially appealing if you enjoy the tension between beauty and unease, or want to understand how an image can create atmosphere through line and contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:inherit;font-size:1.1em;font-weight:500;\"\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor \/ contributors: Jan Marsh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9780500480595\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery charges are shown at checkout.
