AMC Sundays at LARA: Aubrey Beardsley multimodel life drawing tribute

About

Join us for a luxurious 3 hour long life drawing session on a Sunday afternoon!

Right in the middle of the run of the much anticipated AUBREY BEARDSLEY exhibition at Tate (4 March – 25 May 2020), we are returning to the classical London’s atelier with a multi-model tribute to this opulent artist.

Beardsley, who was born in Brighton in 1872 and died of tuberculosis at the age of 25, titillated late-Victorian London with decadent scenes depicted in his elegant ink lines, often showing the strong influence of Japanese graphic art.

“Aubrey Beardsley shocked and delighted late-Victorian London with his sinuous black and white drawings. He explored the erotic and the elegant, the humorous and grotesque, winning admirers around the world with his distinctive style.”
