Lu Xun published a catalogue of twelve paintings by Aubrey Beardsley (Biyazili hua xuan. (1929). Beardsley's paintings were introduced in an organized and focused manner, not just reproduced separately as illustrations. According to Lu Xun, Beardsley was the most widely known painter in black-and-white painting and greatly influenced Chinese modern art. Unique in the unstable society of 1890s, Beardsley was incomparable in the area of decorative arts and a pioneer of xin de yi shu [new art] during fin-de-siècle. In Beardsley's paintings, the folly and ugliness of the upper class and people indulging in sensual pleasures are often shown. Therefore, he was regarded as an indecent and offensive artist by some of his contemporaries. This painter, seen through the eyes of Lu Xun and others, was a talented and artistic rebel who was the spokesperson for uninhibited beauty and desires.
