Alphonse Mucha: Posters and Photographs

[minor wear to book; the jacket is lightly age-toned, with some modest edgewear here and there, tiny tears and very slight paper loss at spine ends]. (B&W photographs, color and B&W facsimiles) "In his sympathetic appreciation of his father's life and work, Jiri Mucha traces the career and achievements of his father as an artist and describes the ultimate tragedy of his life. The grace and originality of Mucha's art is illustrated by a comprehensive selection of his work with over 100 black and white and 40 colour reproductions of the high quality necessary for the true representation of Mucha's subtle and muted colours and delicate draughtsmanship. Many of the photographs that Mucha took of his models have recently been re-discovered, giving a fascinating glimpse of the raw material that Mucha transmuted in his drawings and paintings. The photographic section of the book is introduced by Dr. Aaron Scharf who places Mucha's photography in the context of his time. And the use that Mucha made of his photographs in the planning of his work is discussed by Marina Henderson in an essay on Mucha and the Camera." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy volume; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****
