“Dreams” 1894 by Aubrey Beardsley (1872 – 1898)
“Poor Aubrey: I hope he will get all right. He brought a strangely new personality to English art, and was a master in his way of fantastic grace, and the charm of the unreal. His muse had moods of terrible laughter. Behind his grotesques there seemed to lurk some curious philosophy…”
— Oscar Wilde (The Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde)
