Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum: Aubrey Beardsley Exhibition (2)🎨🌟

Though I didn't know much about Beardsley himself, his artworks are connected to figures like Oscar Wilde (he illustrated Salome) and his social circle included William Morris. 🎨🌟 As I looked at the exhibition, I could automatically piece together the outline of the social groups and artistic trends (Art Nouveau) of that era, which I found really fascinating. 🎨✨ While viewing the exhibition, I recalled the plot of Salome that I had seen before. 📚🌟 Knowing the story made the exhibition even more enjoyable! (I also plan to catch up on The Death of King Arthur soon.) 📚🌟 No matter what, he only lived to be 25, yet he left his mark in art history. I can't help but marvel at the vitality and explosive creativity of a genius. 💫 🎨🌟 Exhibition Style: One thing I found particularly interesting is that the exhibition uses a timeline of Beardsley's life from ages 16 to 25 as a guide, with highlighted sections. 📚🌟 For visitors, it's easy to see what's coming up next. Plus, since a key feature of Beardsley's life is his short life and brilliant artistic career, this timeline really brings that home. 📈🎨 📚🌟In Tokyo 2025.04.27 #Tokyo 🌆🌸
