Aubrey Beardsley, The Masque of the Red Death (1894–95) for Tales of Mystery and the Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe

The Aubrey Beardsley picture is small enough in this panel that I’m leaving it uncensored- hopefully the algorithm won’t mind. The picture is called Cinesias Entreating Myrrhina to Coition. Beardsley was an early influence. His sense of refinement lent a legitimacy to the often sexually explicit (and funny!) subject matter. His work is one of the reasons I would go on to do comics about people entreating one another to coition. #djbryant #thetissuepaperdesperado #aubreybeardsley https://www.instagram.com/p/Crj5kC0pGBH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aubrey Vincent Beardsley — who died of tuberculosis on this day in 1898 — was an English illustrator known for his drawings in black ink emphasising the grotesque, the decadent, and the erotic.⠀ ⠀ Pictured here is an 1895 colour lithograph made from a Beardsley drawing depicting Isolde drinking the love potion which, according to the tales of King Arthur, would bind her to the knight Tristan, though with ultimately tragic results. Although Beardsley did illustrate the King Arthur legend, the reference for this particular depiction is likely to be Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, which was performed frequently in the 1890s. Beardsley claimed that he “would do anything and go anywhere . . . to hear Wagner’s music.”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ One of several Beardsley prints for sale in our online shop — click link in bio and search shop for "Beardsley".⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #isolde #aubreybeardsley #wagner #illustration #art #onthisday #otd #love #lovepotion #tristanandisolde #opera https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ziCaqptmj/?igshid=hmpiw32hz7xr

Not dead, just resting my eyes lol - In all srs though it’s been a crazy-busy holiday and lead-up to the return to school, including working on my entry to the Folio BIC 2019. Just submitted the finished work this morning; since I can’t share any of those images until the Long List is announced, here’s a spare/non-entry B&W illustration for the final chapter of Howl’s Moving Castle. :) - - - #traditional #illustration #penandink #aubreybeardsley #artnouveau #blackandwhite #books #howlsmovingcastle #foliosociety #bookillustration #pattern #drawing #editorial #personal (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsY2nbNBYX7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c3xn20bb7ih2
