| biography:
| Illustrator, born in Brighton, East Sussex, SE England, UK. He became famous through his fantastic posters and illustrations for Morte d'Arthur (1893), Salomé, The Rape of the Lock, and other works, as well as for the Yellow Book magazine (1894–96) and his own Book of Fifty Drawings, mostly executed in black and white, in a highly individualistic asymmetrical style. With Wilde he is regarded as leader of the ‘Decadents’ of the 1890s. |
