Motiv ženske v ilustracijah Aubreya Beardsleya, izdelanih za Rumeno knjigo (The Yellow Book)

Kovič, Amadea (author), Germ, Tine (mentor)

V magistrski nalogi raziskujem motiv ženske v ilustracijah Aubreya Beardsleya, izdelanih za vplivni angleški periodični časopis svojega časa, Rumeno knjigo (The Yellow Book). Zanimajo me različni vplivi, ki so določali Beardsleyevo umetnost, umetniki in umetnostni tokovi, ki so ga zaznamovali, in kako so ti, skupaj z družbenimi in osebnimi okoliščinami, izoblikovali poseben tip ženske v Beardsleyevih ilustracijah. Kako se njegove upodobitve motiva ženske v ilustracijah za Rumeno knjigo razlikujejo od žensk v ilustracijah za Arturjevo smrt (L'Morte d' Arthur) iz leta 1892, Salomo (1984), Lizistrato (1896) in Ugrabitev kodra (The Rape of The Lock) iz leta 1897? Katere so značilnosti tipične Beardsleyeve upodobitve ženske v Rumeni knjigi in kakšni so vzroki zanje?

• Title: The Motive of A Woman in the Illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley, Made for The Yellow Book

Abstract

In master's thesis, I explore the motif of a woman in the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley, made for the influential English periodical of the time, The Yellow Book. I am interested in the various influences that determined Beardsley's art, the artists and the artistic currents that characterized him, and how those, along with social and personal circumstances, formed a specific type of woman in Beardsley's illustrations. How his rendering of motif of a woman in the illustrations for The Yellow Book differs from women in the illustrations for Arthur's death (L'Morte d’Arthur) from 1892, Salome (1984), Lyzistrata (1896) and The Rape of the Lock (1897)? What are the characteristics of a typical Beardsley’s depiction of a woman in The Yellow Book and what are the causes for them?
