I don't think it gets said enough, but THANK YOU for providing a great art diversion every single day.

I love Alphonse Mucha!

Thank you so much for posting this!!! Mucha is my all time favorite fine artist. And most all of what you posted here I have never seen before. I have two books of him, one by his son Jiri published by Paul Hamlyn, an other published by Harmony Books entitled "The Complete Graphic Works". I have always wondered if there is a single book that contains the majority of his work. Might you have any suggestions?

May I add my voice to the chorus? Some of these make me want to find a jewelry maker/metal smith and commission a work or three, but no, to do them right - I imagine some semi-precious stones, jade for instance, it would cost a fortune, and that I don't have. Suffice to dream. Thanks again.

Astonishing! It's amazing to see Mucha's bold graphic work contrasted with the detailed backgrounds and patterns. Thank you for sharing

I went to see Mucha's Slav Epic in the south of te Czech Republic in June and it's the most amazing series of huge paintings. They are going to be moved into Prague at the end of the year and I urge any Much fans to make the trip. It's worth it!
