This analysis of Beardsley's most characteristic works clarifies why his art is indispensable to an understanding of fin-de-siecle Victorian culture. Beardsley's various grotesque figures serve as emblems of monstrous metaphysical contortion, even as his elegant designs simultaneously recuperate such dislocations formalistically. Alternating between an urge to outrage and a craving for authority, Beardsley's elegant designs and "dandy" sensibility effect what might be called a caricature of traditional canonical meaning.
