Reviews

[Kevin de Ataíde]

Decent, large-format introduction to Mucha and the Art Nouveau movement. Very little text, most of the space is given to large reproductions mainly of the artist's commercial posters.

[Anodos]

I own 80+ art books and this is, without a doubt, the worst-arranged one in layout. That being said, it is a solid biography and a strong choice of works, including some lesser-known later ones. Mucha was an extraordinary talent and it is unfortunate his name is associated by the internet with little more than a specific style of poster that usually fails to capture any of his geometric genius.

[Alexandra]

Colorful and easy to read book. Well done kind of treasure.
