EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Comedy-Ballet of Marionettes, III" created by Aubrey Beardsley in 1894, we are transported to a whimsical world of music and performance. The scene depicts figures on stage, with a cymbals player, piper, conductor, and drummer in the orchestra pit. This artwork was originally published in The Yellow Book, Vol. I. One intriguing aspect of this piece is that the central female figure was cut out and renamed "The Black Domino". It found its way into the collection of the late Judge Evans and was also exhibited at the International Society's Exhibition of Fair Women in 1909 under the name "Dancer with the Domino". Beardsley's artistic style showcases his mastery of graphic design and illustration during Britain's art nouveau period. His attention to detail is evident in every element: from the intricate clothing worn by both men and women to their expressive masks. This print not only captures a moment on stage but also reflects Beardsley's satirical approach towards society at that time. Through his work, he invites us to ponder upon themes such as decadence while immersing ourselves in an enchanting visual narrative. "Comedy-Ballet of Marionettes III" stands as a testament to Beardsley's talent as an artist who pushed boundaries through his unique interpretations. Its inclusion in "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A Walker, further solidifies its significance within art history.
