Mucha
Through his unmistakable decorative style, the Czech artist and master of Art Nouveau Alfons Mucha (1860-1939) defined the aesthetics of the fin-de-siĆØcle.
His evocative compositions of ornamental motifs, flowers and beautiful women in evocative shades of peach, gold, ochre and olive became the paradigms of the Belle Ćpoque years.
Mucha's work left its mark on the illustrations, posters, postcards and advertisements of his time.
His striking posters of the actress Sarah Bernhardt became particularly famous. In addition to his delicate decorative work, Mucha also held strong political convictions.
Through his monumental Slavic Epic cycle he expressed his unconditional support for Pan-Slavism, which advocated the political independence of the Czech and Slavic nations from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
This book, produced in cooperation with the Mucha Foundation, illustrates the main works and presents all of Mucha's artistic facets, from decorative motifs to book illustrations, posters, photographs and monumental paintings.
