Mucha Foundationさんのイラストまとめ

#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.

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.

Spring is in the air this weekend and so we visit this 1896 painting where Mucha captures the spirit of Spring. How does it compare to his depiction of Spring that we shared with you yesterday (Spring 1900)? Are both the woman and the style seem more naive?

This poster announced the 20th exhibition of the Salon des Cent held at La Plume. This poster introduced Mucha's archetypal style based on curved lines, light tones, flattened colours and strong outlines.
