A magnificent visual history of Decadence, Aestheticism and Symbolism presented by Hiroshi Unno Across time and space, the motifs and images of Decadence are repeatedly depicted in literature, fine arts, music and other art forms.

This book presents numerous historically important art works spanning from the 19th century to Surrealism, including notable European illustrators such as Odilon Redon, Gustav Klimt, Balthus and much more.
