OverviewBorn in 1860 in the small Moravian town of Ivancice, then one of the Slavic provinces of the Austrian Habsburg Empire, Mucha came of age in an era of nationalistic consciousness, a reaction against the increasing Germanization of Czech culture. As such, he saw art as a means of responding to his nation's need for cultural representation. These aspirations were put on hold following his rejection from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Mucha was forced to earn a living as an apprentice scene painter in Vienna, and then as a portrait painter in the Moravian town of Mikulov. His talents eventually caught the eye of two local counts, whose patronage allowed him to gain formal training in Munich, and later in Paris. This is a reproduction of his amazing poster and advertising artwork for Nestles, LeFevre biscuits, Carriage Dealers, and theater posters for Sarah Bernhardt, portraits, and the entire Slav Epic Series. The book includes Annotations, a Table of Contents, the Top 50 Museums of the World, and the Interesting Facts Page below. Alphonse Mucha is formatted for all Kindle devices, Kindle for iOS and Android tablets.
