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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52631840555319,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":297.99,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9783777447483","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
