Book Review: Alphonse Mucha

Aggiornamento: 27 gen 2020





This gorgeous volume is a survey of the entire spectrum of the Art Nouveau Master, Alphonse Mucha. Mucha's work is amazing and space between illustration, decorative art (drawings and photos), photos of his models and the historical paintings that were his life's passion. The book contains a stunning selection of 700 color illustrations: his design for the pavilion of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1900 World's Fair to posters, jewelry design and painting, works on canvas, pastels and frescoes, photography and his magnum opus, the Slavic Epic (a series of 20 paintings depicting the history of his native people).

Another point of interest are the studies of the artist, done with pencils, for me the highlight of the book.

If you're looking for a comprehensive collection on Mucha's work or if you're simply a fan of the Art Nouveau style, this is a "must have book".
