Book Description
Excerpt from Prudence: A Story of AEsthetic London Asthetes, and they look forward to something even more aesthetic in the future, but the young ladies are very young, and still human enough to enjoy a dance; so that once or twice in the season cards are issued for an evening which will include some hours devoted to Terpsichore. But, at the same time, Mrs. Poynsett's friends well know what is required of them, even on such an occasion, in the way of costume. The feelings as well as the tastes of the company must be consulted; for are we not so delicately organized today that we must be saved any kind of artistic shock? As Barley Simmonson, a constant visitor at the Poynsetts', re marked, There is power to pain - actually to pain - in that shade of our youth known as magenta or solferino, just as there is the power to lull anguish into calm - and here Mr. Simmonson smiled with ineffable tenderness in Bordone's reds.

Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism
Author: Jason EdwardsPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351577115
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Alfred Gilbert's Aestheticism presents the first sustained re-evaluation of the life and work of one of the most acclaimed sculptors of the late-Victorian period. Drawing on important new archival sources, this ground-breaking study challenges the customary assumption that Aestheticism was primarily a literary, painterly or architectural phenomena. Jason Edwards reveals both the diverse ways in which Gilbert's sculptures operated within the context of Aestheticism and also how these works provided a unique and provocative commentary on the history of masculine friendship and eroticism in the period leading up to and beyond the Wilde trials in 1895. Detailed readings are offered of the relationship of Gilbert's work to essays by Pater and Swinburne, poems, plays, and novels by Wilde and W. S. Gilbert, and paintings by Burne-Jones, Leighton, Rossetti, Solomon, Whistler, and Watts. With over 90 illustrations, including key contemporary photographs showing Gilbert's works in their original contexts, this book makes a major contribution to the field of Victorian sculpture studies.
