The artwork, titled “Title page of Discords,” was created by the artist Aubrey Beardsley around the year 1894. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement and falls within the genre of design.
The artwork consists of a primarily blank page bordered by intricate designs. The top border features a repetitive ornate pattern of symmetrical floral motifs on a black background, emphasizing the delicate and flowing nature typical of Art Nouveau. Similarly, the bottom border showcases a more elaborate series of intertwining floral and leaf forms, rendered in high contrast black and white, with fluid lines creating a sense of movement and organic growth. The central area remains intentionally blank, possibly serving as a space for text or further illustrations. The overall composition reflects Beardsley’s characteristic style, with its sinuous lines and decorative elements, contributing to the elegance and sophistication of the piece.
