Thanos Kalamidas : Beardsley took a trip to Paris in 1892 and encountered Toulouse-Lautrec, an admirer and lover of Eastern art, introducing Beardsley to a style that he quickly evolved. In his drawings and illustrations you can see and feel the strokes of the ink and his emphasized grotesque approach to his characters ; you can see his fears and agonies, yet also feel his deep knowledge in Chinese ink drawings and his respect for the style. The peacock in his painting The Peacock Skirt, a strong element in Chinese art, can be seen from the woman's dress, the background and in the wreath. The final element of the Chinese influence can also be seen in the mystic symbolic writing in the painting's top-right corner. Beardsley is one of the best representatives of the Chinese style. All the porcelain or decorations elements are connected with this style. He was adapting the Chinese thought behind the actual ink strokes to his work. |

Lu, Xun. Lu Xun lun mei shu. (Dalian : Da zhong shu dian, 1948). [Lu Xun on arts]. 魯迅論美術 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. |
