{"title":"Decadent Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Decadent Movement covers the late nineteenth-century French and British literary and artistic current that combined Aestheticism's principle of art for art's sake with a deliberate engagement with morbidity, ennui, artificiality, and erotic transgression. Its founding texts include Joris-Karl Huysmans's 1884 novel \u003cem\u003eÀ rebours\u003c\/em\u003e and Charles Baudelaire's earlier \u003cem\u003eLes Fleurs du mal\u003c\/em\u003e, which the Decadents claimed as their direct ancestor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe French visual side was led by Gustave Moreau (1826–1898), whose late mythological paintings supplied the Symbolist counterpart in oil, alongside Odilon Redon, \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/henri-de-toulouse-lautrec\"\u003eHenri de Toulouse-Lautrec\u003c\/a\u003e, and Georges Rochegrosse. The Belgian wing ran through Félicien Rops (1833–1898), Fernand Khnopff (1858–1921), and Jean Delville. The British line included Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898), whose drawings for \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Book\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSalomé\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eLe Morte d'Arthur\u003c\/em\u003e fixed the canonical image of Decadent illustration, alongside Charles Ricketts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Austrian and German wing included Franz von Stuck, \u003ca class=\"artist-bio-link\" href=\"\/collections\/gustav-klimt\"\u003eGustav Klimt\u003c\/a\u003e, Max Klinger, and Franz von Bayros.
