The Dancer (1967) by Antony Little.<\/em><\/p>\n My thanks to Sweet Jane this time for alerting me to her post about a series of Beardsley-inspired illustrations<\/a> from 1967 by Biba designer Antony Little. The Wandering Jew and Other Stories<\/em> was the first translation in English of Apollinaire’s 1910 collection L’H\u00e9r\u00e8siarque et Cie<\/em>. I’ve known about this book for a while but few of the illustrations have been on view anywhere until this post. There are eight in all, each of them very adeptly capturing different phases of Beardsley’s drawing style, from the spare black-and-whites to the more detailed renderings seen in his later work. The drawing below is another in the series from a post of Callum’s<\/a> which also includes a favourite of mine by Beresford Egan<\/a>.<\/p>\n Little’s designs, and the prominence of the Biba stores, did much to make Art Nouveau in general, and Beardsley in particular, a crucial component of London fashion in the late 1960s. For more on that subject see this Sweet Jane post<\/a> featuring yet more Beardsley borrowings and monochrome design, plus Osborne & Little’s fantastic Chinese Dragon<\/em> wallpaper<\/a> which made a memorable appearance last year in Only God Forgives<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewhere on { feuilleton } The Dancer (1967) by Antony Little.
