Painting Description
'J'ai baisé ta bouche, Jokanaan (I kissed your mouth, John)' is a notable work by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley, an influential English illustrator and author associated with the Aesthetic Movement and Art Nouveau. The piece was created in 1893 as an illustration for Oscar Wilde's play 'Salome,' which was originally written in French. The title of the artwork is a direct quote from the play, spoken by the character Salome after she kisses the severed head of John the Baptist, known as Jokanaan in the play.
Beardsley's illustration is a stark, black and white depiction of this dramatic scene, reflecting the artist's characteristic style that combines elements of Japanese woodcuts, the Pre-Raphaelites, and symbolism. The image is both sensual and grotesque, mirroring the themes of desire, death, and decadence present in Wilde's play. Beardsley's 'J'ai baisé ta bouche, Jokanaan' is considered a significant contribution to the 'Yellow Book' period of his career, named after a quarterly literary publication he co-founded, which was known for its avant-garde and often controversial content.
The artwork continues to be studied for its innovative design and its role in challenging Victorian societal norms, reflecting the artist's and Wilde's shared interest in exploring taboo subjects and pushing the boundaries of their respective art forms.
