The Dancer's Reward
Aubry Beardsley 1893
Art Nouveau

Aubry Beardsley was one of the most controversial artists of the Art Nouveau movement because of his many pieces of erotic art. He used black ink, and his work is clearly influenced by the Japanese culture. I like The Dancer's Reward because of the texture. The blood, hair, and the gown all seem to have very different textures even though this is done using only one color.
