Late nineteenth century Paris was a thriving, exciting place for artists, and Alphonse Mucha was the most celebrated artist working in the city. Everywhere you looked his posters and advertisement designs caught the eye and influenced popular culture. He was the favorite artist of the great actress Sarah Bernhardt and she contracted him for six years to design all her posters, costumes, set designs, programs, and more. However he was much more than just a phenomenally successful commercial artist, Mucha was also a painter of great epic compositions that celebrated his native Czech heritage. After being so very fashionable, in time his work inevitably came to be seen as old-fashioned and Mucha's paintings disappeared from the mainstream until his work was rediscovered during the fad for Art Nouveau in the late 1960s. Since then his work has been treated with the respect it deserves and now it evokes turn of the century Paris with all its glamor and excitement, more than that of any other artist.

In this large format book, Mucha’s art has the right canvas to present its beauty, especially his series of decorative panels (mostly in groupings of four) which are tall in height along with the breakthrough posters of Sarah Bernhardt. His history is concisely shared in 14 pages, and the rest are dedicated to his art. I have always had a huge passion for his “Four Times of Day”. In this book, I was particularly drawn to “Music”, one of the “Four Arts” panels. Her playful expression, the attentive eyes, the long luscious brown hair, the perky, dainty breasts with slightly erect nipples, the flowing white gown – it is simply beauty at its best. I particularly enjoy the beauty of the women in his art. Many have rounded faces, some with a slight double chin. Her figure is full, with slight lumps and pumps along arms, backs, and sides just like a real woman. This art reflects true beauty; a beauty lost in today’s measures. Enjoy! ( )
