Synopsis
A fabulous tribute to the artist whose stylized poster designs defined Art Nouveau's visual language, and whose influence can be seen everywhere from manga to the Grateful Dead
Published with D.A.P..
This volume reappraises the graphic work of Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) and explores its influence on graphic art since the 1960s. Published in conjunction with a touring exhibition to five leading museums in the US and Mexico, this volume provides an opportunity to survey the development of Mucha’s style, which evolved to be synonymous with Art Nouveau. It explores how it was rediscovered by later generations of artists, becoming a new artistic idiom for the Psychedelic Art of the 1960s and 1970s as well as a wide range of visual culture from the late 20th century to today, exemplified by American comics, Japanese manga and street murals.
Coinciding with the opening of the new Mucha Museum in the baroque Savarin Palace in Prague, Timeless Mucha is organized into three thematic sections: Inspirations for the Mucha Style, Le Style Mucha, and Art Nouveau and The Rebirth of the Mucha Style and Its Legacy. The first two sections focus on Mucha’s artistic development, examining the theoretical basis of Mucha’s style―famously known as "le style Mucha" in fin-de-siècle Paris―and its context. Tracing the artist's footsteps from his youth in Moravia through the 1890s, when he attained fame as a poster artist, the first section highlights a selection of works of art, crafts and books from his own collection. The third section explores visual links between Mucha’s artistic idiom and the styles developed by later generations of artists. While Mucha's style continues to influence today's visual culture, including fashion, animation movies and computer games, this catalog also focuses on a philosophical aspect of Mucha's legacy: the art of message-making.
