THE DECAY OF LYING

Sinopsis de THE DECAY OF LYING

In The Decay of Lying Oscar Wilde uses his decadent ideology in an attempt to reverse and therefore reject his audiences' "normal" conceptualizations of nature, art and morality. Calling on diverse examples—from ancient Greek sculpture to contemporary paintings —Wilde's brilliant essay creates a witty, paradoxical world in which the only Art worth loving is that built on complete untruths.
