Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Alfonse Mucha was an exstremely imaginative and original artist. Although he tried to distance himself from the Art Nouveau movement, his art was one of it's biggest influences for it. This book examines his brillant artwork as well as the fascinating life of the man himself.

A RICHLY DETAILED TRIBUTE TO MUCHA
29. April 2005
Von Gail Cooke
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
What a marvelous collection! These Art Noveau posters by the famed Czech artist Alphonse Mucha are visual feasts, appealing, curvaceous, sinuous. Rich in color and line they arrest the eye. Of the 222 colour illustrations, one would be hard pressed to select a favorite; aficionados will simply return to the volume again and again to enjoy.
Born in rural Moravia in 1860, Mucha found his world in Paris where he was commissioned to do a poster for famed actress Sarah Bernhardt. It was so well received that "Le style Mucha" was born. Of course, it didn't happen overnight but along the way he came to know other artists such as Gauguin and Strindberg who influenced his work.
As if his fame as a poster artist were not enough, he also ventured into architecture, and also created beautiful drawings and pastels replete with symbolism. As he matured he would paint monumental canvases of the Slav Epic, lasting evidence of his patriotism.
In the belief that art influenced all of life his work sends a message of peace and harmony, which is especially noted in his allegorical scenes.
Included in this keepsake volume are Mucha's photographs, those of models, those taken on study trips, and those taken of his family. Photography is one more aspect of this artist's genius.
Artist, philosopher, patriot, dreamer, Mucha is unforgettable.

This book has it all lots of pictures as well as interesting information on Mucha and his work. I feel that it shows how he and his work became an icon of Art Nouveau. It is not just posters and panels that are covered it goes into every aspect of Mucha's work. There is information and pictures on "The Slav Epic", jewellery, lead light pastels, drawings and more. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves Mucha or Art Nouveau.

I bought this book as a gift for a Mucha fan. It's a great price for such a beautiful hardcover book. The high quality glossy pages vividly exhibit the many prints and photographs represented. There is also ample and varied biographical information about Alphonse Mucha's life and career. It's a great book for any art-nuveau fan.
