A painter, illustrator and muralist whose name is prominently
associated with Art Nouveau*, Alphonse Mucha created work with strong
composition and color and sensuous curves derived from nature.
Using this style, he began earning widespread attention in the 1890s
for his illustration work including posters of actress Sarah Bernhardt.
Although his name is linked to Art Nouveau, a style meaning
'new art' in French, he avoided that discussion by saying he was merely
painting in (showing 500 of 9522 characters). |
