"From Library Journal Alphonse Mucha (1890-1939) was one of the most important decorative artists in Paris at the turn of the century. His sensual female portraits with their elaborate borders embody the essence of Art Nouveau. The Mucha family and the Mucha Foundation have put together a touring exhibition of Mucha's work, and this is the companion volume. Though numerous works on Mucha have appeared in the past few decades, none have been as exhaustive as this illustrated group of essays by noted European experts. The full-scale treatment covers paintings, decorative panels, pastels, drawings, photographs, jewelry, and advertisements as well as numerous book and magazine illustrations. The essays elucidate Mucha's political activities in Czechoslovakia, which spawned the enormous murals "The Slav Epic"; his association with the actress Sarah Bernhardt; and the impact of American patronage on his later work. This lavish homage may prove to be the most important study of an amazing and prolific artist. Highly recommended.
Tons of wonderful pictures and lots of really good information about the artist himself. One of my favorite artists."
"Largely unknown and grossly under appreciated Mucha was one of the worlds most prolific and talented artists. This book is difficult to find but more than worth it. Any book about Mucha is worth it, he will blow your mind. Ka-POW!!"
"This book is the catalogue for the exhibition of the same name which stopped at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle in the summer of 1998. It was amazing. I went twice, and occasionally kick myself for not going more (it was FREE! FREE, I tell you!). Fortunately, I have this book to keep my leg from getting too tired."
"Mucha is one of my favorite artists, so I love having this around for inspiration. Lots of nice art reproductions plus some good historical essays. Highly stylized and romantic artwork."
