Keep up the good work. Your channel is one of the best on youtube for being concise and informative on art matters.

33:45 "And the crowd went to the offices of the publisher and threw stones through the window". It is always the crowd which can be incited to do such atrocities. Nothing has changed until today.

There was also in 1966 an exhibition in NY at the Museum of Modern Art of his works....

[@LaurenceShafe]

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that exhibition. There was a major exhibition of his work at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1966 which kicked off a revival of interest in his work.

Enjoyed your analysis here! interesting that fumes from the oils and other oils/turps etc would then be maybe the reason why Aubrey was only using inks? Iwonder if his life lasted longer that he might have embraced colour in the work's? Doesn't matter though does it what a genius this man was thank you for a most interesting vid!!!

Thanks for this, I lost my books on Beardsley in a fire. Master of the line indeed.

‘it should be pronounced x, I won’t be doing this’ gives me so much joy 😆

I don’t think people will be offended that easily ? Maybe on internet I don’t know.
