Beyond Oscar Wilde:
Portraits of Late-Victorian Writers & Artists from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection September 5 - November 10, 2002 |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
| The exhibition includes drawings, lithographs, watercolors, oils, photographs, books, and illustrated letters spanning 1870-1901. Historians often focus on the meaning and importance of Oscar Wilde’s image when discussing the late-nineteenth-century British cultural milieu. But the items on view will go “beyond” Wilde, to consider a fuller range of images of male and female writers and artists, in both portraits and self-portraits, including a George Du Maurier portrait of George Eliot; the poet Algernon Swinburne's personal photograph album; and self-portraits by Beerbohm, William Rothenstein, Walter Sickert, and Rudyard Kipling. A highlight of this exhibition will be a previously unknown caricature of Wilde by Max Beerbohm. | |||||||||
