Beardsley Illustrations CD-ROM and Book

by Aubrey Beardsley

During his brief lifetime and career, Aubrey Beardsley forged a bold, individualistic style that transformed the art of illustration. At the same time, he also shocked Londoners of the 1890s with his exotic renderings of subjects that often projected the sensual and the grotesque. This collection brings together the best of Beardsley's work—from book illustrations for The Savoy and Salome to magazine cover designs, title pages, and poster art. These startling drawings continue to fire the imaginations of new generations of artists.
This book includes a CD-ROM containing 221 royalty-free images saved in JPEG and TIFF formats.

About the author

Highly individual black and white, often erotic drawings of British illustrator Aubrey Vincent Beardsley typified the art nouveau style.

Aubrey Vincent Beardsley identifies an English author. Japanese woodcuts influenced his executions in ink; he emphasized the grotesque, the decadent. This figure led in the aesthetic movement, which also included Oscar Wilde and James McNeill Whistler. Beardsley significantly contributed to the development of the poster movement despite the brevity of his career before tuberculosis caused his early death.
