T. Fisher Unwin’s Pseudonym Library and Autonym Library, London. Illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley, 1890s

(via magsaysay)

book-aesthete: The Land of Heart’s Desire by William Butler Yeats. T.Fisher Unwin, 1894. First edition, title illustration by Aubrey Beardsley, advertisement leaf at end, printed wrappers with repeat of title illustration on upper cover, ink ownership inscription on upper cover, covers very slightly foxed, spine a little chipped, [Wade 10], 8vo,

This is from an article in the March 1989 issue of the sadly defunct SPY magazine, entitled “Life Imitates Art: People We Confuse With Paintings and Sculpture, Paintings and Sculpture We Confuse With People.”

“Chicks Nouveaux
There’s certainly a case to be made that author-study-in-black-and-white Tama Janowitz (b. 1956) has taken an Aubrey Beardsley (1872-98) drawing as one of her spiritual/aesthetic mentors. But it takes two really great decorative artists to bridge the gap between The Yellow Book and Jack La Lanne television ads — Beardsley (sinful, decadent) and Cher (game, uninhibited). Forget about the sort of technical problems only time travel can solve: Cher (b. 1946) is a walking, talking pen-and-ink drawing at every award ceremony she attends, and the influence of her fevered post-Bob Mackie dressmakers on Beardsley’s illustrations of Salome and Lysistrata is undeniable. Do we have to add that an Oscar figured prominently in both their careers?”
