Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939)
Alphonse Mucha was a Czech artist, whose works brought him into the lights of the Art Nouveau movement. His stylized hair patterns became a hallmark and the way in which he turned even immaterial things into decorations, without creating laden images (in his posters), brought him fame. But he didn’t like that, and he insisted that rather than adhering to any fashionable stylistic form his paintings came purely from within. He designed a series of commercial posters, where he used images of young girls dressed in loose robes drawn with the same curbed lines invented by the Art Nouveau style. He also created sets, costumes, jewelry, furniture, carpets, stained glass and manufactured objects.
