Видатні художники. Alphonse Mucha. Agnes Husslein-Arco, Jean-Louis Gaillemin, Michel Hilaire

Альфонс Муха відомий в основному тим, що він зародився в стилі модерн, коли його плакат із зображенням актриси Сари Бернар став легендарною іконою цього руху. Цей чудовий тому, тепер доступний в новому виданні, охоплює весь спектр робіт Альфонса Мухи - від ілюстрації та декоративного мистецтва до його фотографії та історичних картин, які були пристрастю його життя. Муха продовжував створювати сотні творів у галузі декоративного мистецтва, а пізніше дистанціювався від стилю, який він заснував, і присвятив свій час і енергію живопису. У цій книзі представлений весь спектр творчих робіт Мухи, не тільки його плакати і прикраси, але і його дизайн для павільйону Боснії і Герцеговини на всесвітній виставці 1900 року. У книгу включені його роботи на полотні, в тому числі пастелі і фрески, і його великий опус «Слов'янський епос», серія з 20 картин, що зображують історію його рідного народу. Приголомшлива добірка з 500 кольорових ілюстрацій супроводжується есе, в яких досліджується стиль і натхнення Мухи, його відхід від декоративного мистецтва і його набіги на фотографію. Шанувальники стилю модерн оцінять це сліпуче і унікальне дослідження художника і його внесок у дизайн та ілюстрації.
