Aubrey Beardsley Coloring Book

Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898) was a fashionable English illustrator and author associated with the aesthetic movement and the development of the Art Nouveau style. Known today and in his time as a master of black-ink line work executed with supple fluidity and slashing vigor, his fantastic illustrations expressed his appreciation of the unexpected, the erotic, the dark and decadent. This coloring book features a selection of 25 black-and-white illustrations published from such literary works such as Le Morte Darthur by Sir Thomas Malory, The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope, and Salomé by Oscar Wilde.
