Alfons Mucha

Alfons Maria Mucha (24 July 1860, Ivancice, Moravia, Austria-Hungary — 14 July 1939, Prague, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia) was a Czech-Moravian painter, theater artist, Illustrator, jewelry designer and poster artist, one of the most famous representatives of the art Nouveau style. All Mukha's works are distinguished by a unique style. The center of the composition, as a rule, is a young healthy woman of Slavic appearance in loose clothes, with a luxurious crown of hair, drowning in a sea of flowers — sometimes languid and captivating, sometimes mysterious, sometimes graceful, sometimes unapproachable and fatal, but always charming and pretty. The paintings are framed by intricate floral ornaments that do not hide their Byzantine or Eastern origin. More detailed>>>
