| Abstract | Mikl Aimee S. The history of fairies has existed for centuries and will continue to exist as long as people remain who are fascinated by them and are compelled to put pen to paper and brush to canvas. During the nineteenth century, there was an explosion of fairies depicted in art. Nineteenth century artists like Fitzgerald, Dadd, and Doyle used their art to express the societal influences of theatre, ballet, sex, drugs, and technological advances brought about by the industrial revolution. The late twentieth century artists like Brown, Froud, and Law also drew inspiration from literature, advances in societal norms allowing for open expression of sexuality, technological advances which provided access to information, and from each other. However, unlike the nineteenth century artists, the late twentieth century artists openly expressed through their art the influence of sex. iii This research compares selected late twentieth century artists depicting fairy illustrations with selected nineteenth century artists. Influences that had a direct effect on fairy art were theatre, ballet, literature, technology and society as a whole. Because these influences were not stagnant, it is necessary to discover whether the depiction of fairies has evolved or remained the same. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS |
