Alphonse Mucha: 240 Plates by Maria Peitcheva PDF Summary

Book Description: This Art Book with Foreword by Maria Peitcheva contains 240 selected color plates of drawings and paintings from Alphonse Mucha.Alphonse Maria Mucha was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, known best for his distinct style. He produced many drawings, paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs. The Mucha Style but became known as Art Nouveau ("new art"). Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful young women in flowing, vaguely Neoclassical-looking robes, and often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed halos behind their heads. In contrast with contemporary poster makers he used pale pastel colors. Mucha's style was given international exposure by the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris. He decorated the Bosnia and Herzegovina Pavilion and collaborated with decorating the Austrian Pavilion. His Art Nouveau style was often imitated. The Art Nouveau style however, was one that Mucha attempted to disassociate himself from throughout his life; he always insisted that rather than maintaining any fashionable stylistic form, his paintings were entirely a product of himself and Czech art. He declared that art existed only to communicate a spiritual message, and nothing more; hence his frustration at the fame he gained by his commercial art, when he most wanted to concentrate on more artistic projects.
