  Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872-1898), a decadent and rebellious fin de sicle dandy who died of tuberculosis at the age of 25, had a lasting impact on Art Nouveau. In just a few years he created a unique lexicon of carnal knowledge in pen and ink and, wielding his remarkable graphic talent like a scalpel, sliced through the hypocrisy of Victorian society.
