Documentary about Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha, 52 mins., directed by Susanna Boehm. Music by Geraldine Mucha.
Alphonse Mucha (1860 – 1939) is the visionary master of Art Nouveau. Born in what is now known as the Czech Republic, Mucha had his artistic breakthrough in Paris in 1895 with his posters of the world famous actress Sarah Bernhardt. Mucha’s extensive work consists of prints, paintings, drawings and design objects of global fame.
Since 1910, Charles R. Crane, an American millionnaire financed the highlight of Mucha’s artistic work: “The Slav Epic”. This series of 20 monumental paintings focusses on the history of Slavs. The film discovers these widely unknown paintings in a Moravian castle.

probably the prints since the originals are in a museum in Prague. Four Seasons is one of the most replicated prints from the estate. Either that or they’re fakes since you did say drawings and not paintings. I’d hit up a major art museum or university to authenticate them.

Never the less, I have 4 drawings by him signed by and signed by him, and as I said there of the four seasons, I’ll try and take pics and put them on my youtube

pretty doubtful since most of his work is and only has been available in print form and any color work is more then likely big. Drawings were kept mainly to books and throw aways and no work made it to America for resell and all works are known and recorded.

God. What a beast. This man has an awesome grasp of the human figure as well as that baroque, organic decorative style that is characterized by those beautiful, 2 dimensional curves.

You may have found the technique by now, but most of his work was done in colored lithograph.

research* clear* ( Sorry for the typos.)
Mucha in my opinion is one of the most over-looked artists, he was truly a amster draftsman and painter. It’s a shame more people don’t know about his Slavic Epic series, and other works of his. Hhe had his hands in jewelery and set/costume design, he was a very talented man.

Decorative Art is …
Decorative Art is defined as; “Ornamenting, or enriching, but more importantly in art emphasizing the two-dimensional nature of an artwork, or any of its elements. Decorative Art emphasizes the essential flatness of a surface.”
Mucha has been seen as a ‘decorative” artist by many because of his heavy influence in the Art Nouveau movement, which is seen as a ‘trend’ in the art world, in my opinion. But if you do some reaserch, it is claer to see he was NOT a simple decorative artist at all.
