Book Synopsis Alphonse Mucha, 1860-1939 by : Tomoko Sato
Book excerpt: Czech artist and Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) defined the look of the fin-de-siecle. In shades of peach, gold, ochre and olive, his compositions of patterns, flowers and women became a mainstay of illustration, posters, postcards, and advertising designs of the day. Mucha also harbored committed nationalist beliefs. With works such as The Slav Epic, he expressed his support for Pan-Slavism, promoting the political independence of the Czech and Slavic nations from the Austro-Hungarian Empire
