Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Grey wrappers, printed paper label. Edition limited to 100 numbered copies. Wildean drawing-room conversation about Aubrey Beardsley's Yellow Book art; first performed at the Beardsley conference at the Victoria & Albert Museum, 7 November 1998, with the author as Cyril and William Sieghart (founder of the Forward Prizes for Poetry) as Vyvyan. Matthew Sturgis, all-round man of letters and football correspondent, husband of the galleriste and grande dame of Australian cultural affairs in London, Rebecca Hossack, had that year published his Aubrey Beardsley: a biography. Cyril: "The sense of 'wickedness' that you detect in Beardsley's art isn't the result of his subject matter, it's the result of his vision. Beardsley can see the corruption in a flower or a milkmaid - as plainly as he can see it in a harlot. And he can make his line distinct with that knowledge. That is the mark of his genius and his originality. If you gave him a daisy to draw he would show you a fleur-du-mal . . ." Halliwell B106. Seller Inventory # TR100024
