The Cult of Beauty: The Aesthetic Movement in Britain 1860-1900
In spring the V&A will hold the first major exhibition exploring the aesthetic movement of the late 19th century. The exhibition will be the first of it's kind to examine the controversial movement in which the writers and artists held the belief that art had no moral purpose, that it only had to be beautiful to look at - art for art's sake.
The exhibition will feature paintings, furniture, ceramics, metalwork, wallpapers, photographs and costumes, as well as architectural and interior designs.
Artists and writers linked to the Aesthetic Movement include Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Oscar Wilde, Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Morris, Whistler and Aubrey Beardsley.
I'll be first in line when the exhibition opens in April. Right now I'm planning my trip to this current exhibtion and I promise to tell you all about it when I get back.
