EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a masterpiece by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley, an English illustrator and artist, born in 1872 and tragically taken from us in 1898. The image, titled "Lysistrata," is a drawing inspired by the ancient Greek comedy of the same name penned by Aristophanes around 411 BC. Beardsley's modernist interpretation of the play is depicted in this stunning litograph, which is a method of printing from an etched or engraved plate. In this scene, Lysistrata, the central character, is shown defending the Acropolis, the ancient citadel and sacred site of Athens. She stands resolute, her determined expression etched on her face as she wards off potential attackers. The use of bold lines and striking colors adds to the dynamic energy of the piece, embodying the spirit of modernism. Beardsley's illustration is a testament to his unique artistic vision and his ability to bring ancient texts to life in a fresh and innovative way. The print is a must-have for any art or literature enthusiast, providing a glimpse into the rich history of both the classical world and the modernist movement. This vertical composition not only serves as a beautiful addition to any wall but also as a thought-provoking conversation starter. In summary, this print by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley, titled "Lysistrata," is a stunning example of modernist art inspired by ancient Greek literature. The image of Lysistrata defending the Acropolis is brought to life through Beardsley's masterful use of lines, colors, and composition, making it a must-have for any art or literature enthusiast.
