Like no other, he knew how to depict the Slavic soul with a light melancholic touch. In 1887, Mucha moved to Paris. The entire city was overwhelmed by his work, and the posters were even stolen from the streets. The graceful lines, fresh pastel colours, and lavish motifs in his illustrations of sensual women became the icons of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fin_de_si%C3%A8cle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>fin de si\u00e8cle<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In gaining wider public recognition as the \u2018Master of the Art Nouveau poster\u2019, Mucha\u2019s success in a new genre \u2013 decorative panels (\u2018<em>panneaux d\u00e9coratifs<\/em>\u2019) \u2013 played a significant part. <em>Panneaux d\u00e9coratifs<\/em> were posters without text, a prototype of today\u2019s art posters, designed purely for artistic appreciation or decorating interior walls.\u00a0 It was the printer Champenois who invented this idea from the business point of view: to maximise business opportunity by recycling Mucha\u2019s designs for many different editions.\u00a0 However, it was Mucha who transformed them into a new art form, affordable and available to the wider public, whereas, traditionally, works of art were available only to the privileged few.<\/p>\n<p>It was Mucha\u2019s belief that through the creation of beautiful works of art the quality of life would be improved. He also believed that it was his duty as an artist to promote art for ordinary people. He was able to fulfill both of these objectives by means of his innovative concept of the mass-produced <em>panneaux d\u00e9coratifs<\/em>. Of the <em>panneaux<\/em>, Mucha later wrote: \u2018I was happy to be involved in an art for the people and not for private drawing rooms. It was inexpensive, accessible to the general public, and it found a home in poor families as well as in more affluent circles.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The <em>panneaux <\/em>illustrate all the typical qualities of the Mucha poster \u2013 the beautiful women with suggestive gestures, the decorative use of flowers and flowing hair, the subtle yet striking colours \u2013 all combine to create a compelling harmony of vision whose intention is to inspire and elevate the viewer. Of which \u2018<em>La Plume<\/em>\u2019 is a beautiful example.<\/p>\n<p><em>Literature: Ann Bridges (ed.), &#8220;Alphonse Mucha the complete graphic works&#8221; (1980), P27<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Price: SOLD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cLa Plume\u201d lithograph in colours after the design by Alphonse Mucha (1860 \u2013 1936) printed in 1899 by F.
