| description | The object of this paper is to examine a series of “iconotexts” (Alain Montandon), such as cartoons in periodicals, illustrations, cards, adverts, etc., that were produced in response to the Aesthetic Movement in the context of late 19th-century marketplace culture (Regenia Gagnier). These iconotexts entail a double reading of the relation between image and text, but most important is their dialogue with high-art productions of Aestheticism. The question of gender, however, is not so much linked to the formal relation between image and text but to the discourse deployed by these iconotexts since what is aimed at is a caricature based on gendered constructions of the category of “Aesthetes”. Finally, one intends to show the poetics at work in such iconotexts by studying those oft-recurring catchphrases that comically and yet creatively encapsulate the aesthetics and formula of life propounded by authors and artists of the Aesthetic Movement. |
