Imens i livet hos Aubrey Beardsley
Hele livet1892
Trip to Paris
In 1892 Beardsley travelled to Paris, where he discovered the posters of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and the Parisian fashion for Japanese prints.
1892
Westminster School of Art
In 1892 Beardsley attended classes at the Westminster School of Art, then under Professor Fred Brown.
1894
Art editor of The Yellow Book
In 1894 Beardsley, together with the American writer Henry Harland, became art editor of The Yellow Book; for its first four issues he produced the covers and many illustrations.
1894–1896
His health sharply declines
Between 1894 and 1896, at the height of his success, his health sharply deteriorated. “I know my illness is incurable,” he wrote to Raffalovich, “but I am sure measures can be taken to slow its course.”
April 1895
Wilde's arrest costs him The Yellow Book
When Oscar Wilde was arrested in April 1895, a journalist mistakenly wrote that he had taken “the yellow book” to prison rather than simply a yellow-covered book. For Victorian England that was enough: Beardsley lost his place at the magazine and his livelihood.
December 1896
A violent haemorrhage
In December 1896 Beardsley suffered a violent haemorrhage, which left his health precarious.
