Showcasing the Art Nouveau masterpieces of one of the world's most
outstanding and treasured artists, this beautifully illustrated reference
book charts the life and work of a man who epitomized Parisian art during
the fin-de-siècle. Telling the story of a man who was to dazzle
the commercial world, the first half of the book explores how he achieved
such success. From his early family life in Ivan?cice right through to
his final days in Prague, it delves into every aspect of his career as
it developed. Next, beginning with his earliest Parisian posters for the
actress Sarah Bernhardt, the second half of the book focuses on Muchas
most intense period of productivity in Paris, and documents his success
as an avant-garde artist. Exploring his many decorative panels and commercial
posters as well as his illustrations for books and magazines, it takes
an in-depth look at his changing artistic styles of the period and reveals
his sources of inspiration. The informative text goes hand-in-hand with
stunning reproductions of Mucha's most stirring and iconic works, from
his Gismonda poster of 1894 to his The Moon and the Stars series of decorative
panels of 1902. Featuring over 150 of his most important graphic works,
Alphonse Mucha: Masterworks is the perfect gateway to learning more about
this versatile artist one who was truly successful in producing both
commercial pieces and high art. It is an ideal read for those with little
