Beauty, Morals and Voluptuousness in the England of Oscar Wilde


Thomas Armstrong, The Hay Field
"This exhibition explores the British "aesthetic movement" that, in the second half of the 19th century, set out to move away from the ugliness and materialism of the time, by proposing a new idealisation of art and beauty. Painters, poets, decorators and designers defined an artistic style freed from the principles of order and Victorian morality, and allowing the expression of sensuality."
Musée d'Orsay
