In evocative shades of peach, gold, ochre, and olive, his \u003cb\u003eseductive compositions of patterns, flowers, and beautiful women\u003c\/b\u003e became paradigms of the Belle Époque years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMucha's work permeated illustration, posters, postcards, and the advertising designs of his day. His \u003cb\u003estriking posters of star actress Sarah Bernhardt\u003c\/b\u003e were particularly famous. Alongside this delicate decorative work, \u003cb\u003eMucha also harboured strongly felt political ideas\u003c\/b\u003e. With his monumental cycle The Slav Epic, he expressed his staunch support for Pan-Slavism, promoting the political independence of the Czech and Slavic nations from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompiled in association with the Mucha Foundation, \u003cem\u003eMucha\u003c\/em\u003e presents key works and introduces the full reach of Mucha's œuvre from patterned decoration to his book illustrations, posters, photographs and monumental paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597273022700,"sku":"9783836550093","price":53.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836550093-mucha.jpg?v=1777947341","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/mucha-by-tomoko-sato-9783836550093","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
