Mucha's Byzantine beauties graced walls throughout Paris in the late 1890s. These romantic female figures were incredibly popular and forever changed the movement of art nouveau.

An American Collection,
By "jinnuluv" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alphonse Mucha: An American Collection (Vignettes) (Hardcover)
This is a VERY small book, smaller than a cd case. The illustrations are great and it gives a very general overview of Mucha's life. I purchased this book as a reference for a report on Mucha for a college level class and it was definitely not very useful for that purpose.The author does not cite any resources for the information in the book and other than looking good on the bookshelf it was not worth the price.

This review is from: Alphonse Mucha: An American Collection (Vignettes) (Hardcover)
Don't even bother. There is a magnificent book published by Art Services Inc. in association with Yale University which, after years of searching, is the definitive book on Alphonse Mucha. "Alphonse Mucha: The Spirit of Art Nouveau", 1998, by Victor Arwas,Jana Brabcova- Orlikova and Anna Dvorak. Costs more $$, but you're really getting something! Exquisite! Text and great color pieces. A treasure.
