The master at work,
By Vicky H (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drawings of Mucha: 70 Works by Alphonse Maria Mucha Including 9 in Full Color (Paperback)
The pencil drawings in this book are fascinating. You can really see how he worked on each design, and occasionally the original sketch has some interesting variations from the final product. I particularly enjoyed some of the less popular works that are to be found here.

Very Interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drawings of Mucha: 70 Works by Alphonse Maria Mucha Including 9 in Full Color (Paperback)
Nice to see some of Mucha's preliminary drawings, which are softer and simpler by nature, often (in my opinion) more beautiful than the finished pieces. Not all his best work, and the black-and-whites are a bit greyish, but highly recommended nonetheless.

Inside the mind of the artist,

This review is from: Drawings of Mucha: 70 Works by Alphonse Maria Mucha Including 9 in Full Color (Paperback)
I appreciated this book as it gives a different perspective on Mucha's works. Being mostly a collection of pencil drawn sketches, it lets you enter the creative process of the artist, while other books I own just present the finished work.
Really useful for who'd like to understand his approach to drawing.
