My hand drawn rendering Inspired by Glyn Philpot RA a British painter and sculptor, in particular Head of a Young Man (charcoal on paper). Oscar Wilde, born October 16, 1854, Dublin. Ireland-died November 30, 1900, Paris,
France. An Irish poet and playwright. After Writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights
in London in the early 1890s It was at Oxford that Wilde came under the influences of John Ruskin, a critic, writer, and professor, and Walter
Pater, a critic and essayist whose Studies in the History of The Renaissance legitimised Wilde’s ideas on art and individualism. He believed that
‘individualism made gain not growth its aim. So
that man thought that the important thing was to

is to be. The true perfection of man lies, not in
what man has, but in what man is.
