This essay posits that Beardsley’s use of vague open-endedness (in terms of visual narrative) was deliberately intended to reside in tandem—but not supersede or compete with—the graphicality of Poe’s words. By theorizing the exteriority/interiority binary around two Poesian themes—decay and speciesism—this study seeks to explain how the iconography of Beardsley’s images is at the very crux of graphicality, especially as this concept applies to writing-as-art and the art of illustration.

In a damning opening statement, they commented: 'the Blaue Reiter painters are perhaps more interesting historically than artistically', arguing further that the group amounted to nothing more than 'a weakish, eclectic side of German Expressionism'. 6 A subsequent review by Edith Hoffmann-a leading scholar of Expressionism, and an Austrian émigré who had settled in London in 1934-later appeared in the November issue of The Burlington Magazine. Hoffmann, like the critic for The Times, saw The Blue Rider Group at the Tate and was similarly displeased with the show, arguing that it 'was not as successful as it might have been'. 7 She explained that its poor organization and choice of mediocre works by 'the now famous group' were 'of greater interest to those already fairly familiar with its subject than to the uninitiated'. 8 Since the exhibition was intended to introduce the art of Der Blaue Reiter as a single,
