Publisher's Synopsis
Alphonse Muchas (18601939) poster for Sarah Bernhardts 1894 production of Gismonda thrust the young Czechoslovakian painter into the forefront of the Art Nouveau movement-for the next five years he designed posters for nearly all Bernhardts new productions, as well as posters for publisher F. Champenois and other clients. With their flowing design and subtle, sumptuous colors, Muchas posters are among the most elegant products of the Art Nouveau era. This book of postcards presents thirty of his loveliest designs.
