The Art of the Hoarding
Heritage Open Day: Aubrey Beardsley and friends celebrate street art with a poster installation. Artist Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) was born in Buckingham Road, Brighton. He attended Brighton Grammar School from 1884 -1888 which, at that time, was situated on the corner of Buckingham Road and Upper Gloucester Road (the site currently being developed by Martin Homes). Beardsley was an advocate of artistic poster design and in 1894 he wrote an article, ‘The Art of the Hoarding’, defending the poster artist.
As the former site of Beardsley's school is surrounded by hoarding, it seems fitting to celebrate street art here. This installation brings together the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries.
