オーブリー・ビアズリー≪イエロー・ブック創刊号の表紙デザイン≫ 1899年
妖しい笑みを浮かべた女性と、背後から覗きこむような男──
ビアズリーらしい鋭利な装飾性とユーモア、そして仄暗い官能が混じり合う一枚です。
1894年4月にジョン・レーンとエルキン・マシューズより創刊された文芸雑誌『イエロー・ブック』、ビアズリーはその表紙のデザインを手掛けました。
仮面舞踏会をテーマに、光と影のコントラストが強く効いた構図は、当時のデカダンな世紀末気分を象徴するかのようです。
燭台に灯る長い蝋燭と、黒々とした背景、そして仮面越しに浮かぶ人物たちの表情が、静かに高揚する気配を伝えています。
滑稽さと不気味さ、エレガンスと風刺。その境界を巧みに遊ぶビアズリーの才気が凝縮された一作です。
本作は1898年のビアズリーの夭折後、代表作『サロメ』などを刊行したジョン・レーン社が制作した追悼画集（1899年）に本作は収録されたものになります。

About the condition
This work is an original antique print created over 100 years ago.
All works sold by Rivoli Antiques are genuine pieces of artistic value printed at the time, and are not later reproductions or copies.
Due to their nature, antique prints rarely come with individual certificates of authenticity like contemporary works.
Therefore, where you buy and who is in charge of selecting the works are of utmost importance.
At Rivoli Antiques, we carefully select our items based on the trust we have built through many years of collaboration with museums and experts.
We only introduce works that you can safely add to your collection.
Natural fading and stains may appear over time, but these are also proof of the era the piece has passed through and are elements that convey the texture of the materials and techniques used to create it.
You can also come and see the paintings in person at the gallery to check their condition, so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
