Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) is a representative painter of "Art Nouveau," an artistic style that flourished in Europe from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The elegant female figures painted by Mucha and decorated with botanical patterns are known as the "Mucha Style" and still attract many people today.
The Czech-born Mucha first became famous in Paris at the end of the 19th century, when a 34-year-old Mucha's poster advertising the play "Gismonda" by the stage actress Sarah Bernhardt became a great success. After returning to the Czech Republic at the age of 50, he continued to imprint his works with his desire for peace in his homeland and the pride of the Slavic people.
This exhibition will present approximately 500 items from the collection of Hisayuki Ogata, a world-renowned collector of Mucha's works, including posters, decorative panels, design books, postcards, stamps, banknotes, product packaging, and more, to provide a closer look at the artist's life.
★I devoted my entire second half of my life to painting it.
A slide show of all 20 works in the "Slav Epic."
★Photography of all works is available.
