Mucha Foundationさんのイラストまとめ

When Mucha returned to his homeland to begin to work on his magnum opus - The Slav Epic - he created this post-impressionistic “View from the Zbiroh Castle, Western Bohemia”, 1920

Right now The Mucha Foundation is hosting #MuchaTrail, an opportunity to discover Mucha in Bohemia.

It’s hump day and so we are dreaming of Ruinart Champagne :)

Mucha presented this champagne as something triumphant, having his model hold the glass as if it were a torch or a trophy rather than something to sip out of, ably communicating the superior quality of its contents.

#Mucha designed this poster to promote a lottery for raising funds for Czech schools in southwestern Moravia.

In the poster, Čechia sits on a dead tree weeping. In the foreground, a little school girl with books and pencils stares at the viewers, demanding support from them.

In 1902, Mucha was commissioned to decorate a church in Jerusalem dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Shown here is the final version of Madonna of the Lilies, one of the murals for the church.

Who's seen this poster at our current exhibition @kunstmuseumdh?

The large format poster shows a woman with a wreath of poppies, wheat and hops in her hair holding a pint of beer.

Have you ever seen a more beautiful advert for baby food? It’s difficult to imagine that these images are the precursors to modern advertising. What other famous brands, that are still current today, did Mucha create adverts for?

Have you ever seen Mucha’s masterpiece The Slav Epic?

This poster advertised the first of Mucha's exhibitions of the Slav Epic cycle which was held at the Trade Fair Palace in Prague in the autumn of 1928, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of Czechoslovakia #mucha #SlavEpic

How do you create an icon? Through his work with Sarah Bernhardt, Mucha became something of an expert. He immortalised the ‘divine’ image of the actress, consolidating her iconic status.

Did you know that #Mucha saw Byzantine civilization as the spiritual home of Slavic culture? In his style he incorporated Byzantine-inspired decorative motifs, such as mosaic, icons, and sumptuous costumes. These panels were so popular that they were reproduced throughout Paris.

Are you a star gazer? Here the figure of the Pole Star seems to be sheltering from the bright light that resonates at the centre of the composition.
