Alphonse Mucha (Czech, 1860–1939) was the undeniable founder of Art Nouveau, in spite of his efforts to distance himself from that distinction. His highly decorative advertising works were famous for featuring a woman semi-nude, hair billowing, draped in luxuriant fabrics, and languidly posed. Alongside these eye-catching posters, labels, postcards, and calendars, Mucha created decorative designs. In 1902, by then a wildly popular artist, he published Documents décoratifs (Decorative Documents), a book filled with 72 plates of the kind in this notecard assortment. Even without the presence of stunning females, Mucha's defining ornamentation and curvy style are instantly recognizable in these images. • 20 blank notecards (5 each of 4 designs) with envelopes in a decorative box • Printed in full color on FSC paper with soy based inks • High-quality 250 gsm card stock • Soft white envelopes • Pomegranate’s notecard sets feature exclusive selections of art from museums and artists around the world Published with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Box size: 5.375 x 7.375 x 1.5 in.
