Alphonse

Mucha


"The purpose of my work was never to destroy but always to create, to construct bridges, because we must live in the hope that humankind will draw together and that the better we understand each other the easier this will become."

***

Alphonse Mucha (1860-1874) was born in Ivancice, Moravia. Mucha's style is virtually synonymous with Art Nouveau and he is one of the most imitated artists and designers of all time. In addition to commercial art, jewelry design, interior decoration, sculpture and stage design, Mucha experimented with lettering and calligraphy to produce excellent source material for unique typefaces.
