Writing about the 60s/70s music posters, and the Italian Medusa sculpture, I was reminded about one of my all time favourite artists and couldn't resist looking up images of his work. One in particular is the Salome piece shown above. It captures the biblical story of Salome ordering John the Baptist's head to be chopped, after he described her parents marriage as unlawful. Below is another one of his pieces, showing the intricate detail and flowing lines that I love in Beardsley's monotone pieces.
