Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile designer, weaver, writer and printmaker, who was among the leading pioneers of twentieth-century modernism.

In her later years, Albers took up print-making, translating many of her persistent themes and ideas into two-dimensional form. But while Albers has been extremely influential for younger generations of arti...

(H/B) A BOOK OF FIFTY DRAWINGS BY AUBREY BEARDSLEY
Delve deeper into the work of Aubrey Beardsley with the reissue of this classic 1897 illustrated book containing fifty of his best known works. During his lifetime Beardsley's subversive illustrations became synonymous with decadence: he delighted in the erotic, shocking audiences with his bizarre sense of humour and fascination with the grotesque. His work was deemed too scandalous by many publishers of the period, but found a suitably unseemly home with the notorious Leonard Charles Smithers (1861-1907). Shortly before his death, with hi...
