MJ Nichols said Negative reviews right on one point. Also bought this for my artist granddaughter who is building a collection of art books. Mucha is one of my favorites so I looked though the books as well. I read the reviews and was concerned about the comments about the layout. The reviews were correct. Almost none of the reproductions are on the same pages as the text that describes them. Very frustrating. However, the layout is also dramatic and a pleasure to look at. The detail plates are particularly striking. The cover has raised portions and makes a wonderful tactile presentation on the coffee table or propp. Amazon Customer said The book is a piece of artwork!. I opened the box today! I feel like it is Christmas Day! This is the most beautiful representation of my favorite artist's work! The hard cover is also the same as the paper cover. Every page is excellent and beautiful! I was recently at the Alphonse Mucha Museum in Prague! I purchased a book there but it is no comparison to this book! Thank you Rosalind Ormiston for this book! I have placed it on an Easle and will display it as artwork.. "Gorgeous" according to Karolyn. This book is beautiful.I had no idea when I bought it, but the cover actually has some sparkly embellishments on it. Makes for a beautiful coffee book table or looks great on the shelf!I'm an art student and Mucha is my all time favorite artist so I had to get this book.The illustrations are large and look great.
Though very much an individual and spiritual artist, Alfonse Mucha was a defining figure of the Art Nouveau era and is loved for his distinctive lush style and images of beautiful women in arabesque poses among the plethora of paintings, posters, advertisements and designs he produced. Admire a whole range of his work here in its full glory with succinct accompanying text.
