The Art Nouveau Style Book of Alphonse Mucha

His graceful women, delicate colors, and decorative style add up to an unashamed act of temptation, is indissolubly linked with the Art Nouveau style, and was one of the most fascinating artistic personalities of the turn of the 20th century.

This compendium goes far beyond merely reproducing the works: each item has been painstakingly researched and fully annotated. Much of the background has been supplied by the artist's son, Jiri Mucha, who for the first time granted full access to the world's most complete Mucha collection , as well as to his personal archives. As a result, the capsule biography of the artist includes many new facts and fascinating details authenticated from original correspondence and memorabilia.

Mucha's Figures Decoratives

Josef Moucha

Jiří Řapek

Though Alfons Mucha (1860-1939) achieved lasting international acclaim as an Art Nouveau painter, graphic designer, and decorator, his outstanding photography is not as well known. His photographic sketchbook and personal visual diary, comprising photographs from the mid-1880s until the end of his life, constitutes a unique and profound artistic statement. This mosaic of captured moments reveals the intimate and personal basis of both Mucha's own life as an artist and the time period in which he lived. The behind-the-scenes glimpses of his studio provided here prove that Mucha--the creator of the ideal of Art Nouveau beauty--was one of the pioneers of the classic nude in Czech photography. This is the first time such a large selection of Mucha's extensive photographic work has been assembled as a book. Many of the photos in this book, never before published, reveal hitherto unknown aspects of Mucha's work, which will be of interest to the general reader and the photographic connoisseur alike.

Drawings of Mucha

Österreichische Galerie Belvedere

Alfons Mucha is known largely for having originated Art Nouveau, when his poster of the actress Sarah Bernhardt became a legendary icon of the movement. Mucha went on to design hundreds of pieces in the decorative arts field, but later distanced himself from the style he pioneered, devoting his time and energy to painting. This book presents the full array of Mucha's artistic contributions-not only his posters and jewelry designs but also his design for the pavilion of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1900 World's Fair. The book also includes his works on canvas, which include pastels and frescoes, and his magnum opus, The Slavic Epic, a series of 20 paintings depicting the history of his native people. A stunning selection of 700 color illustrations is accompanied with essays that explore Mucha's style and inspirations, his transition away from the decorative arts, and his forays into photography. Fans of Art Nouveau will treasure this dazzling and unique study of the artist and his contributions to design and illustration.
