Aubrey Beardsley "Reward for the Dancer" "Salome" circa 1900 Lineblock

Sale price¥165,000

"A huge black arm, the executioner's arm, emerges from the pool and holds a silver shield with Jokanaan's head on it. Salome grabs it."

Among the illustrations for "Salome," one that makes a quiet impact is "Reward for the Dancer."
In this work, which depicts a tragic scene from the story of Salome, she holds her head, which is resting on a silver plate, expressionless in both hands.
There is no sign of sadness or fear in that expression.
Rather, there is an air of cold, dispassionate ruthlessness and resignation that accepts fate as a given.

Thin, sharp lines, subtle shading, and bold white space.
Beardsley has captured unseen pathos and tragedy in this small painting through the tension of his lines and the beauty of his composition.

Geometric rhythm, restrained monochrome world, and exuding sensuality.
Japonism - the sensibility influenced by Japanese art - is also strongly present there.
This work is a testament to Beardsley's talent, telling the story through lines and space, and hiding intense emotion in silence.

This is an original antique print produced at that time.
After Beardsley's early death in 1898, a collection of his works was produced by John Lane, who published a number of works including his masterpiece, Salome.
This work is one of the prints included in the John Lane edition.
