12 languorous Art Nouveau ladies by Alphonse Mucha,

This review is from: 2009 Mucha Wall Calendar (Grid Calendar) (Calendar)
My niece, a freshman art major is going through an Art Nouveau phase and asked for an Alphonse Mucha poster for Christmas. I thought she might like this calendar even better, as it has 12 of Mucha's languishing portraits of ladies, most of them advertising such items as Sarah Bernhardt plays, champagne, and beer.
Each month displays a separate 11.6" x 11.6" color picture above a calendar grid. Opened up on a wall, the calendar is roughly 1 foot wide and 2 feet long. Alphonse Mucha was born in 1860 in Ivancice, Moravia, which is near the city of Brno in the modern Czech Republic, but spent his creative years in Paris just as Art Nouveau was embracing Europe's new industrial aesthetic. It featured naturalistic but stylized forms, often combined with more geometric shapes as in the paintings of Alphonse Mucha or Gustav Klimt. The movement also produced useful or wearable art as evidenced by Lalique jewelry or Tiffany lamps. Mucha himself designed advertising posters and stage sets, so I'm sure he would approve of this useful and beautiful presentation of his art.

This review is from: 2011 Mucha Wall Calendar (Square Wall Cal) (Calendar)
I love the artwork but I was just a tad bit disappointed with this calendar. The one I had for 2010 had thicker pages with a glossy finish. This one doesn't seem to be as well-made because of that. Also, the pictures could be bigger. They don't fill the whole page like my last Mucha calender so I feel a little cheated in that respect.

Large calender,

This review is from: 2012 Mucha Super Poster Calendar (Calendar)
My daughter wanted this as one of her Christmas presents. She loves the big poster pictures, but as a calender there is no where to write. The date spaces are very tiny. So buy this for the art posters, but not as an every day calender.
