The world knew and still knows Alphonse Mucha primarily as an exceptional illustrator and graphic designer, who once caused a revolution in the field of graphic posters. This artist aimed at making art and beauty accessible to the widest possible audience, by letting them peek into his harmonious visionary world, inhabited by women whose magnetic beauty were underpinned and framed by flowers organically intertwined within the ornamental background.
The core of the museum exhibition is formed by his famous decorative panels, presenting allegories and posters on which mysterious women invite us to the theater, offer us wine, bicycles or a magazine. Mucha’s style, characterized by soft pastel color schemes and melodiously fluid lines, quickly gained popularity and the Moravian painter became one of the co-creators of the Art Nouveau style. The exposition also includes several of Mucha’s paintings on canvas, along with various decorative items, as well as a series of photographs of his family and his atelier in Paris, which then hosted Parisian bohemian circles.
