Autorenporträt
Robert Baldwin Ross (1869-1918) was a Canadian journalist, art critic, and literary executor, primarily known as Oscar Wilde's loyal friend and literary executor. His role in the arts during the late Victorian period was significant, especially in promoting the work of Oscar Wilde, to whom he remained devoted even after Wilde's imprisonment. While Ross may have been overshadowed by the more flamboyant personalities of his contemporaries, his contributions to the world of art and literature were substantial. In his role as an art critic, Ross penned a critical study titled 'Aubrey Beardsley' on the influential English illustrator and author, who was a leading figure in the aesthetic movement and a friend to both Ross and Wilde. The book attests to Ross's keen insight into the nuanced interplay between visual art and literature that characterized the fin de siècle era. Ross's literary style was both erudite and accessible, reflecting his ability to navigate the complex social and artistic networks of his time. His writing exudes a deep understanding of the aesthetic movement and an appreciation for the provocative and often controversial elements of Beardsley's oeuvre. Ross's work continues to offer valuable perspectives not only on Beardsley's artistic legacy but also on the broader cultural movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
