Alphonse Mucha 2010 Calendar (Wall Calendar) [Calendar]

Alphonse Mucha (Author)

Book Description

Series: Wall Calendar | Publication Date: July 2009

Alphonse Mucha (Czech, 1860-1939) virtually invented Art Nouveau as it applied to graphic design. Hired by happenstance to design a poster for one of Sarah Bernhardt's theatrical productions, he finished it in just a few days.

The profoundly innovative poster earned its creator instant fame. Before the poster, Mucha had been a capable illustrator and painter who kept his 'real' art safely in the Academic mode. After the poster, he worked prolifically in his new style, producing hundreds of images--such as these twelve gorgeous examples of 'le style Mucha.'

Size: 12 x 13 in.; opens to 12 x 26 in. Printed on FSC certified paper with soy-based ink.

Every Christmas I buy a few calendars for family members to gaze upon the following year.

This calendar was for my mother and she absolutely LOVED it.

The pictures are simply gorgeous and the calendar is the ideal size.

If this is your thing you will enjoy this calendar.

I ordered this as a wall calendar for my house. The quality is superb & despite it being hung in a bathroom, the calendar has yet to wilt or tear. The illustrations are bright & lovely.
