About Aubrey Beardsley

Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) was an English illustrator and author known for his distinctive and influential art in the Art Nouveau style. He gained fame for his intricate and highly stylized black-and-white illustrations, most notably for his work in Oscar Wilde's play 'Salome'. Beardsley's art often contained themes of sexuality, decadence, and the grotesque, which stirred controversy during his time. Despite his short life due to tuberculosis, Beardsley left a lasting impact on the art world.
