A Suggested Reform in Ballet Costume, 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic genius of Aubrey Beardsley. This intriguing piece, also known as "At a Distance" transports us to the enchanting world of ballet with its unique design and exquisite attention to detail. In this image, we see a woman gracefully adorned in a floor-length cloak embellished with applique leaves and flowers. The intricate decorations on her garment reflect the art nouveau style prevalent during the late 19th century. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the illustration, further enhancing its allure. Beardsley's unfinished drawing was once owned by Joseph Pennell, adding an element of historical significance to this artwork. Published in "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A. Walker, it continues to captivate audiences even today. This print not only celebrates Beardsley's exceptional graphic design skills but also satirizes traditional ballet costumes of his time. With his suggested reform, he challenges societal norms by presenting an alternative vision for ballet attire. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, we are transported into a world where dance meets decadence and imagination knows no bounds. It serves as a testament to Beardsley's contribution to both literature and visual arts during the fin de siècle period in Britain. Overall, "A Suggested Reform in Ballet Costume" is an extraordinary representation of Beardsley's talent for blending satire with beauty while pushing boundaries within art forms like dance and fashion.
