Item description from seller

A master of Belgian Symbolism rediscovered! Félicien Rops's (1833-1898) erotic works remain provocative today - and in the nineteenth century, they transgressed every boundary of art. With a keen eye and a sharp pen, Rops exposed the hypocrisies of the respectable middle class. "I am Rops, and I wish to be no other!" he declared, and adhered to this maxim throughout his life. The most poisonous berry of Symbolism, a scourge of the bourgeoisie - many terms have been used to describe Rops's radical art. Celebrated by writers such as Charles Baudelaire and Joris-Karl Huysmans, he was a transgressive figure who deliberately aimed his works against the double standards of bourgeois society. His pictures - representing an absolute highpoint of printmaking and draughtsmanship from the period - invite a critical examination of fin-de-siècle social attitudes, particularly with regard to gender roles.
