Book Reviews of Mucha
Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book for my husband who is an admirer of Alfonzo Mucha's work.
The book is loaded with works created by the artist and also incorporates a biography. It is a great looking hard cover and a more personal touch that a family member put the piece together.
If you liked the turn of the 20th century fashion and the styles of females captured in the wake of liberation often depicted in Art Nouveau style, Mucha's florals and scroll-work might appeal to you. Mucha is definitely one of those artists that stands alone and this book with its colourful replications are a welcome addition.
Book Review: Beautiful collection of images
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of Mucha's, you will definitely want to add this book to your collection. The images are beautiful, and the text is enlightening.Book Review: Can't get better than this.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has it all lots of pictures as well as interesting information on Mucha and his work. I feel that it shows how he and his work became an icon of Art Nouveau. It is not just posters and panels that are covered it goes into every aspect of Mucha's work. There is information and pictures on "The Slav Epic", jewellery, lead light pastels, drawings and more. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves Mucha or Art Nouveau.Book Review: Fantastic resource!
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonderful resource on Alphonse Mucha for both scholarly and casual readers. Incomplete images of the Slav Epic, but the ones printed are large enough to see. Sketches and plates from earlier in Mucha's career are wonderful to see, as are the photographs.Book Review: Good, but wish I had my book from prague
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for those who do not have a great book on Mucha. The book contains a superior history of Mucha's life and intro the Art Neuvou period(Art Nuvo). Mucha should be credited with the entire period in my opinion.
There is wide sampling of his works, beyond that in other books. There are examples of jewelry, metal works, paintings, prints, furniture, and architecture. The images are printed very well.
All in all, this is the second best book; The best book was purchased in Prague at his museum (can't find in US...or remember name). This book had mostly paintings but I miss the superior color quality and few pictures run across two pages (a pet peeve of mine and occasional issue in this book)...this book seems to be as good as it gets here.
