schmcgloon's review
5.0
Fantastically compiled by Calloway, playfully leaving room and acknowledging Beardsley’s queerness and perversion. Beardsley himself is incredibly imaginative, grotesque, and prolific, interacting with contemporary and former art. Thank god tuberculosis took him before his catholicism could rob us of his work.
My one criticism that doesn’t factor into my rating is an omission of how his works have aged, particularly with his occasionally gross orientalization. Other than that, much to think about, and much of his work to continue to peruse.
