The Best of Aubrey Beardsley

KENNETH CLARK

When Aubrey Beardsley died in 1898 at the age of twenty-six, he was better known for the shock his drawings had on the public than as one of the great illustrators in the history of British art.

Kenneth Clark selects his favourites from Beardsley's work and in his introductory essay and commentaries places Beardsley among the great artists.
