Alfons Mucha ist der ungekrouml;nte Kouml;nig der Jugendstil-Illustration. Fuuml;r viele Menschen sind Muchas uuml;berirdisch schouml;ne; von floralen Ornamentgeflechten umgegebene Frauen; die erste Assoziation mit der beliebten Kunstrichtung der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert. Muchas Kunst; die sich uuml;ber die Jahrzehnte immer wieder neuer Beliebtheit erfreuen durfte; ist vor allem seit den 1960er Jahren nicht mehr aus dem Sortiment von Plakat- und Reproduktionsanbietern wegzudenken. Das vorliegende Werk bemuuml;ht sich nicht nur darum; einen umfassenden Uuml;berblick uuml;ber Muchas Schaffen zu geben; sondern auch; dem Mann hinter der Kunst gerecht zu werden: seinem Leben; seiner Entwicklung als Kuuml;nstler und seinem leidenschaftlichen Patriotismus fuuml;r sein Vaterland; der damaligen Tschechoslowakei.

BehersI was first introduced to the Fender Stratocaster in 1967 when i listened to the vinyl of a new recording artist by the name of Jimi Hendrix. The first song on the LP;Purple Haze........I had been playing electric guitar for just over a year and not only was I being introduced to one of the most superior artists and legends of Rock; but was captivated by the unique body style of his instrument of choice; the Fender Stratocaster. Five years later Im playing in the band with my brand new Olympic White Fender Strat with a shining Maple neck and I never looked back. This book by Tony Bacon recaptures the complete history of that "Ultimate Axe;" and its creator; the reverend Leo Fender; along with the effect that particular guitar has had on the music industry. Anyone that is familiar with Tony Bacon already knows he is at the top of his game telling the stories of many famous guitars such as Fenders Telecaster and Gibsons Les Paul. He shares with us all the vital improvements; the ongoing expansion of an art form; and the business and musical decisions that were involved in the evolution of this classic instrument. I have read many books on the creation of my favorite musical weapon of choice but none as complete; as well illustrated and documented as this book. If you want to know the history of this great guitar....THIS IS THE ONLY BOOK YOU NEED!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. lit0705By lit0705It was exactly what I was looking for!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. who was leo fenderBy amj2010If you want to know who Leo Fender was and what effort he made to give you one of the finest electric guitars available on this planet; buy this book. Yes; a lot is also available on the internet of course; but they lack all the fine details you want to know if you have a Fender in the house or more..great stuff...i had a 50 catalogue; wished I had it now; their value is astronomical...
