Aubrey Beardsley

Aubrey Beardsleys Under kullen är ett av dekadensens mest egensinniga verk – en utsökt och ironisk fantasi där varje detalj dryper av överflöd, skönhet och subtilt fördärv. Inspirerad av legenden om Tannhäuser, men befriad från all moralisk strävan, låter Beardsley sin riddare vandra in i Venusbergets hov, där sinnlighet och estetik regerar utan gränser.Med en stil som är lika detaljrik som hans berömda illustrationer skapar Beardsley en värld där den konstgjorda prakten är allt och där njutningens skugga vilar tung över varje deliciöst utsmyckad scen. Det är ett fragment av en roman, men en fulländad vision av den dekadenta epokens yttersta glans.Här presenteras för första gången denna drömska orgie i sex och skönhet på svenska. Översättaren Sandra Wiklund har även försett utgåvan med ett förord och belysande kommentarer.

Reproduction of the original: Under the Hill and Other Essays in Prose and Verse by Aubrey Beardsley

'To critics who said that the full-lipped so-called 'Beardsley mouth', which adorned many of his women, was 'inexpressive and ugly', the artist countered, 'Well, let them criticise. It's my mouth and not theirs. I like big mouths. People like the little mouth - the "Dolly Varden" mouth, if that describes it better. A big mouth is the sign of character and strength. Look at Ellen Terry with her great, strong mouth. In fact, I haven't any patience with small-mouthed people.' 'The popular idea of a picture is something told in oil or writ in water to be hung on a room's wall or in a picture gallery to perplex an artless public.' 'To my mind, there is nothing so depressing as a Gothic cathedral. I hate to have the sun shut out by the saints.' 'What a nice ample creature George Sand is: like a wonderful old cow with all her calves.' And other witty, urbane insights on life, art, and culture, illustrated with selected drawings from his Grotesques series.
