| | Alfons Mucha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mucha was perhaps the most defining artist of the Art Nouveau style. | | | By the time of his death, Mucha's style was considered outdated and old-fashioned, but interest in his art revived first in the 1960s, and continues to experience periodic revivals of interest and influence on contemporary illustrators. | | | Much of the interest in Mucha's work can be attributed to his son, author Jiří Mucha, who wrote extensively about his father and devoted much of his life to bringing attention to his father's art. |

| | An Introduction to Art Nouveau and the Work of Alphonse Mucha |
| | Mucha did, however, manage to survive these lean years on income earned from his art work, none of which at this period was particularly original or remarkable—he was a working artist taking small commissions to support himself as best he could. | | | Mucha’s first formal art training took place in Munich (in the mid-1880’s) and from there he moved onto Paris (in 1887), taking further training and trying to support himself as a working artist producing magazine pictures, designs for costumes in operas and ballets, and book illustrations. | | | Mucha's portraits of women and girls typically locate them in a design strongly evocative of nature or natural patterning, and there is nothing about them of the high-society decadence which we see, for example, in the work of his contemporary Gustav Klimt. |

| | Alphonse Mucha Biography |
| | Overnight, Mucha's name became a household word and, though his name is often used synonymously with the new movement in art, he disavowed the connection. | | | Though Mucha is supposed to have started drawing before he was walking, his early years were spent as a choirboy and amateur musician. | | | Mucha had hoped to complete the task in five or six years, but instead it embraced 18 years of his life. |

| | Jiri Mucha was born in Prague on March 12th 1915, the son of Alfons Mucha, who was at that time a famous painter. | | | It is a little-known fact that apart from being a writer, a BBC correspondent during the war, and a political prisoner in the 1950s, Jiri Mucha is also almost single-handedly responsible for making the Art Nouveau paintings of his father, Alfons Mucha, famous again in the West. | | | After the success of the exhibition in London, Alfons Mucha's works were much sought after by galleries throughout the world. |

| | Alfons Mucha was a very influential but seldom mentioned figure in the history of art. | | | It was composed of 20 large paintings (measuring 18 by 24 feet) depicting the history of the Slavs. | | | He is more than anyone else responsible for the "art nouveau" style that developed around the turn of the century and applied his considerable talents to a wide variety of pursuits ranging from painting and sculpture to poster, magazine, and calendar illustration, and product and architectural design. |

| | Art Offer – Alfons Mucha |
| | Alfons Mucha was one of the most versatile and influential artists of the ‘belle epoque’. | | | Although his genius is recognised now as it was at the turn of the century, Mucha himself did not fully appreciate it, and feared that his decorative art was taken too lightly. | | | Typically featuring beautiful long-haired women, framed intricately with fruit, foliage and almost Egyptian-styled symbols, his style came to be regarded as synonymous with Art Nouveau as a whole. |

| | Mucha's photographs were created, in his own time, and remain today, as an archive -- a not-coincidental act of harvesting and experimentation, versus a quest for a final product or a so-called 'work of art' (an as-yet, elusive status for photography at the turn of the century...). | | | Perhaps like Gerhard Richter, Mucha used photography to supplement his work as a graphic designer and painter. | | | Distributed in the U.S. by D.A.P. Some of the more extraordinary photographs 'by' Mucha, presented in the Torst edition, are of his Paris studio, circa 1900. |

| | Deviating from Mucha's decorative Art Nouveau style, the epic's dynamic fusion of historical painting and mysticism serves not only as testament to his skill as an artist, but also his esteem for the character of Slavic peoples. | | | After the war, the communists rejected the paintings because of Mucha's bourgeois status and the Christian motifs that some of the paintings contained. | | | I had never heard of Mucha before that, but was very impressed by the Slavic Epic series. |

| | As an art movement it has affinities with the Pre-Raphaelites and the Symbolism (arts) movement, and artists like Aubrey Beardsley, Alfons Mucha, Edward Burne-Jones, Gustav Klimt, and Jan Toorop could be classed in more than one of these styles. | | | Unlike Symbolist painting, however, Art Nouveau has a distinctive visual look; and unlike the backwards-looking Pre-Raphaelites, Art Nouveau artists quickly used new materials, machined surfaces, and abstraction in the service of pure design. | | | Conventional moldings seem to spring to life and "grow" into plant-derived forms. |
