Born in 1860 in a small Czech town; Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist on the forefront of Art Nouveau; the modernist movement that swept Paris in the 1910s; marking a return to the simplicity of natural forms; and changing the world of art and design forever. In fact; Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the ldquo;Mucha stylerdquo; for the legions of imitators who adapted the masterrsquo;s celebrated tableaux. Today; his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone; inspiring album covers; comic books; and everything in between. Patrick Bade and Victoria Charles offer readers an inspiring survey of Mucharsquo;s career; illustrated with over one hundred lustrous images; from early Parisian advertisements and posters for Sandra Bernhardt; to the famous historical murals painted just before his death; at the age of 78; in 1939.
