这本精美的书籍概述了Alphonse Mucha的全部作品，从插画和装饰艺术到他的摄影作品以及他一生热爱的历史画作，如今，已发行新版。Alphonse Mucha为人所知很大程度上是因为他开创了“新艺术运动”，当时他创作的女演员莎拉•伯恩哈特（Sarah Bernhardt）的海报成为该运动的**偶像。Mucha继续在装饰艺术领域设计了数百件作品，但后来又偏离了他开创的风格，将自己的时间和精力投入到绘画上。本书展示了Mucha的全部艺术贡献，不仅包括他的海报和珠宝设计，还包括他在1900年世界博览会上为波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那展馆设计的作品。该书还包含他在画布上的作品，其中包括粉彩和壁画，以及他的巨著《斯拉夫史诗》（Slavic Epic），一个由20幅画作组成，描绘他国家的人民的历史的系列。精选的近500幅彩色插图附有探讨Mucha的风格和灵感，他偏离装饰艺术的转变以及对摄影的尝试文章。新艺术运动的爱好者将珍惜这项对这位艺术家及其对设计和插图的贡献的精彩而独特的研究。

Now available in a new edition, this gorgeous volume surveys the entire breadth of Alphonse Mucha’s work―from illustration and decorative arts to his photography and the historical paintings that were his life’s passion. Alphonse Mucha is known largely for having originated Art Nouveau, when his poster of the actress Sarah Bernhardt became a legendary icon of the movement. Mucha went on to design hundreds of pieces in the decorative arts field, but later distanced himself from the style he pioneered, devoting his time and energy to painting. This book presents the full array of Mucha’s artistic contributions―not only his posters and jewelry designs but also his design for the pavilion of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1900 world’s fair. The book also contains his works on canvas, which include pastels and frescoes, and his magnum opus, The Slavic Epic, a series of 20 paintings depicting the history of his native people. A stunning selection of nearly 500 color illustrations is accompanied with essays that explore Mucha’s style and inspirations, his transition away from the decorative arts, and his forays into photography. Fans of Art Nouveau will treasure this dazzling and unique study of the artist and his contributions to design and illustration.
