Description
Alphonse Mucha’s sophisticated linework gained popularity in Paris
toward the end of the 19th century and to this day remains some of the
most recognizable work from this time period. Producing lithographs
advertising everything from champagne to theatre productions, Mucha
and his portraiture of glamorous women draped in flowing gowns and
pastel florals helped to define the Art Nouveau movement. He wrote of
his work, “I was happy to be involved in an art for the people and not for
private drawing rooms. It was inexpensive, accessible to the general
public, and it found a home in poor families as well as in more affluent
circles.” Sixteen of Mucha’s decorative prints are on display in this
calendar. Double images themed to the equinox and solstice grace
each changing season.
