Description
Alfons Mucha is one of the most significant world representatives of the Art Nouveau style, which emerged in the 1890s in Paris. Mucha's fame was primarily contributed by his creation of posters, decorative panels, calendars, and advertising prints. Ivan Lendl's collection currently represents the most complete collection of Alfons Mucha's posters in the world, supplemented by a number of other artifacts of Mucha's work. This publication is released on the occasion of the exhibition Ivan Lendl: Alfons Mucha in Prague. It contains newly made high-quality color reproductions of all exhibits from Lendl's collection and more than 100 preparatory drawings, sketches, and prints that provide insight into Mucha's 'artistic kitchen.' Particularly interesting are also 25 photographs documenting Mucha's Parisian period. In terms of scope and documentary value, this is a completely unique work that brings closer significant stages of Alfons Mucha's creation.
