Product Information

And now, for all this perennial Martyrdom, and Poesy, and even Prophecy, what is it that the Dandy asks in return? Solely, we may say, that you would recognise his existence; would admit him to be a living object; or even failing this, a visual object, or thing that will reflect rays of light.

Always bathed and shaved, always powdered and perfumed, always groomed and immaculately dressed in a dark-blue coat of plain style. [13] Sartorially, the look of Brummel's tailoring was perfectly fitted, clean, and displayed much linen; an elaborately knotted cravat completed the aesthetics of Brummell's suite of clothes. In the mid–1790s, handsome Beau Brummell was a personable man-about-town who was famous for being famous; a man celebrated "based on nothing at all" but personal charm and social connections. [14] [15]The Dandy Warhols spout this kind of thing all the time, because drugs were (or are) a definitive force in their lives. Even now, at midday, they're passing around a dinky pipe full of something that makes Taylor slump into the sofa cushion, his eyes half-closed. McCabe, now a solid maternal citizen, watches nostalgically. "I always looked great strung out - dead white, with red lips." Taylor counters: "I've had hangovers where I looked better than when I wasn't. And now I look like Bill Clinton."

In the late 19th century, dandified bohemianism was characteristic of the artists who were the Symbolist movement in French poetry and literature, wherein the "Truth of Art" included the artist to the work of art.

Early manifestations of dandyism were Le petit-maître (the Little Master) and the musky Muscadin ruffians of the middle-class Thermidorean reaction (1794–1795), but modern dandyism appeared in the stratified societies of Europe during the revolutionary period of the 1790s, especially in cultural centres such as London and in Paris. [4] Socially, the dandy cultivated a persona of extreme cynical reserve to the degree that the Victorian novelist George Meredith defined such posed cynicism as "intellectual dandyism"; whereas the kinder Thomas Carlyle, in the novel Sartor Resartus (1831), dismissed the dandy as just "a clothes-wearing man"; and Honoré de Balzac in La fille aux yeux d'or (1835) chronicled the idle life of Henri de Marsay, a model French dandy done in by his obsessive Romanticism in pursuit of love, which included yielding to sexual passion and murderous jealousy. Everything Taylor says is so laced with irony he could be Neil Tennant with a skater-boy accent. McCabe, Holmstrom and Brent DeBoer (drummer) let him dominate, occasionally looking up from lunchtime salads to contribute a sliver of dry banter. It's quite a surprise. The Dandys are accomplished musicians and hedonists, but who'd have thought their talents included Brit-style wit? This section needs additional citations for verification.
