Only a glante at the shop wIndows Is
necessary to conrinco one that there are
fads in art as well as In literature and the
drama , says the St. - LouIs RepublIc. ' Aubrey
l3eardsley's pccular style of drawings for
posters amid Ihiustratlons has taken the pub-
lie fancy to such a degree that the , "decad-
eat school" ban become a JlourlsliIng fad.
The I3eardsley method has invaded the
realms of Easter art and Illustrations. A
very strIking feature of some of time Easter
cards which have been sent out this year
is the decadent style of drawing which they
display.
There is a hInt. of the medaeval iii these
illustrations , or at least 'In tllOsO which are
exponents of the decadent style. They make
one think of din ) cathedrals and Incense-
breathIng altars. While oqthlnes are drawn
with boldness and show a certain 'clearness
of conceptIon. : 'et it may he said thtat the
conception itself is of the middle ages ,
There Is : certain crudIty which marks
the art nnd architecture of time middle ages ;
it was a mnarked falling off in conception
and prcdmlctiOn from classic art. Tile' glorious -
ous renaIssance quickened immto abundant life

However , such a , style has time chlarm of
