Alphonse Mucha is world famous for his seductively beautiful panneaux and posters. As a decorative artist he shaped the appearance of a whole age: in the years around 1900, “Le Style Mucha” was the epitome of cosmopolitan elegance. Lavishly illustrated, this volume explores every facet of Mucha’s art, from the very beginnings, through the success of his posters, to his monumental later work. Insightful texts follow the artist through his life, leading the reader into the studios where the famous “Mucha women” were created, and unfurling a panorama of a turbulent era.
