A collection of Mucha’s romantic art, including 370 decorative paintings and his masterpiece, the 'Slav Epic'

Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was a Czech graphic designer and decorative artist best known for his distinctive Art Nouveau style. He produced many illustrations, advertisements, postcards, packages and paintings throughout his life. The popularity of Mucha’s distinctive style and demand for his beautiful works has continued to grow since the strong revival of interest in Art Nouveau during the 1960s.

This book is the very best collection of Mucha’s characteristic works, covering his entire career, from his beginnings in Paris to his final days in Czech after four years in the United States. His most representative works are featured, not only in the field of fine art but also in editorial design and graphic design. As a special feature, this book introduces more typography and package design works compared to other publications on Mucha’s work. And, of course, Mucha’s masterpiece the 'Slav Epic’ is also covered in detail, along with an interpretation and its historical background.
