Sur le dandysme aujourd'hui attempts to show how many of the concepts and strategies developed by nineteenth-century dandies can be found in the work and attitudes of certain contemporary artists, and how the iconography and themes of the literature of dandyism are still significant. To do so it takes three landmarks in the unusual history of dandyism-George Brummell, Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde-and studies the way in which each of their contributions are reflected in the art of recent decades.
