 ARC :: Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) :: Page 1 of 4
In 1892 he attended the classes at the Westminster School of Art, then under Professor Brown; and from 1893 until his death, at Mentone, on the 16th of March 1898, his work came continually before the public, arousing a storm of criticism and much hostile feeling.
His treatment of most subjects was revolutionary; he deliberately ignored proportion and perspective, and the “freedom from convention” which he displayed caused his work to be judged with harshness.
In certain phases of technique he especially excelled; and his earlier methods of dealing with the single line in conjunction with masses of fl are in their way unsurpassed, except in the art of Japan, the country which probably gave his ideas some assistance.

 American Pastorale: Drawings by John F. Kensett
Turning to luminism, a later manifestation of the Hudson River ideal, Kensett chose to paint more than the unique grandeur of the American landscape by striving to capture the ethereal qualities of light and fleeting subtleties of atmosphere.
Kensett's accomplishments were publicly acknowledged when he was appointed a full member of the National Academy of Design in 1849, as well as when he became a founding trustee of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1870.
From the very beginning of his career, Kensett understood the crucial role that drawing played in the development of the nineteenth-century artist and that solid draftsmanship was a cornerstone of professional artistic practice.
