Join us for the second Westminster Arts Reference Library's Artists of London salons where ALICE INSLEY, co-curator of the Tate's BEARDSLEY exhibition, explores the extraordinary work of the eccentric illustrator who titillated Victorian London. In addition to the talk and a Q+A, each event will include a spotlight on a special item from the Library's collection.
AUBREY BEARDSLEY alternately scandalised and titillated late-Victorian London society with the uniquely provocative black and white illustrations that explored the humorous, the grotesque, the erotic and the elegant.
Born in 1872 in Brighton, the life of the man christened “Awfully Weirdly” by unkind contemporaries was cut short tuberculosis at the age of 25. One of the enfants terribles of fin-de-siècle London, his enigmatic persona and distinctive art ensured his notoriety. Indeed, such was his success that the 1890s were dubbed the ‘Beardsley Period’.
In this illustrated Zoom talk, Alice Insley will discuss his brief but intense career and the drawings – mostly known through print – that shocked and fascinated contemporaries and which continue to resonate today.
Tickets £4.80 including a 50% donation to the Westminster Arts Reference Library

A Curious Invitation and Antique Beat
This year Antique Beat and A Curious Invitation will be hosting The London Month of the Dead, a series of 36 different events investigating the capital’s relationship with its deceased residents. Events will include a private view of the Museum of London’s bone archive, taxidermy workshops, macabre walking tours and private views and a programme of weekend death salons with talks on subjects ranging from public dissection and body snatching to reincarnation and funereal folklore. Each salon will feature a pair of speakers, authorities in fields such as osteology, forensic pathology and the paranormal, who will offer their own perspectives and insights on mortality in the city.
Each year the London Month of the Dead donates 20% of all ticket revenue to one of London's magnificent seven cemeteries. In 2017 all of the death salons and concerts will be hosted at the Dissenters and Anglican chapels at Kensal Green. In previous years the month's programme has centered around Brompton Cemetery but the chapel is now undergoing important restoration work, a project the London Month of the Dead is proud to have supported.
The London Month of the Dead has been curated by a Curious Invitation and Antique Beat to inform, entertain and provoke on the subject of death and London cemeteries.
