thread_title: Controversy

message: "He was generally regarded as asexual—which is hardly surprising, considering his chronic illness and his devotion to his work." ... "Through his entire career, Beardsley had recurrent attacks of the disease that would end it. He suffered frequent lung hemorrhages and was often unable to work or leave his home." ... and, finally ... "Beardsley was active till his death in Menton, France, at the age of 25 on March 16, 1898, of tuberculosis."
The above quotes repeatedly hint at Beardsley's illness, but the final revelation of its nature happens nearly at the end of the article in an almost incidental manner.  I'm not quite sure how to fix this without re-writing the article, but the illness should be explicitly named before being indirectly mentioned later. 168.9.120.8 (talk) 16:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Dramatic Reveal?

message: in a relatively new biography of yeats, which unfortunately is in the bottom of my storage space, yeats claims the disease was syphilis. he said beardsley's fascination with sexual imagery waxed and waned with the progress of the disease. there seemed to be some connection with the irratability caused by the disease, and dreamy states caused by sexual frustration. he also said that despite appearances beardsley saw the images as non-sexual and a reaction against the repressions of the age he lived in. 184.74.68.182 (talk) 20:33, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  possible different illness 

message: Here is Wikipedia:  Beardsley was the most controversial artist of the Art Nouveau era, renowned for his dark and perverse images and grotesque erotica, which were the main themes of his later work.
The images in the Wikipedia entry, like those in a hard-cover book of Beardsley's work, resemble the Art Deco style more than they do that of Art Nouveau.
Can anyone shed light upon the matter?

thread_title:  Art Nouveau or Art Deco? 

message: Of the four images at the bottom of the page, two of them are known forgeries that first appeared in 1919 as part of something called the H.S. Nicols collection, which contained some 80 fake Beardsleys. They should be deleted and replaced by works that are actually by Aubrey Beadsley. I'm not a wikipedian, or I'd do it myself.
Citation: the Nicols collection is discussed briefly in The Collected Drawings of Aubrey Beardsley, with an appreciation by Arthur Symons edited by Bruce S. Harris. New York: Bounty Books, 1967. See page 153 for the Nicols Collection. The two fakes, Oriental Dancer, and The Black Domino, appear on pages 185 and 190 respectively.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.203.171.144 (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Somebody has corrected the problem mentioned above, so it doesn't need rechecking. Thanks to the IP user for the citation! --Geekdiva (talk) 07:47, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  forgeries/false attributions 

message: After inserting the accents on the relevant words, I realised that there is a discrepancy in the burial places shown. "Resting place" gives this as Cimitière du Vieux-Château (Reference number 1), whereas "Death" gives it as Cimitière du Trabuquet (Reference numbers 26 and 27). Are there any users who know Menton well enough to clarify and resolve this? CWO (talk) 09:22, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
