Alphonse Mucha: The Spirit of Art Nouveau
11/7/1998 - 1/7/1999

THE FIRST MAJOR EXHIBITION in the United States since 1921 of the work of Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), this exhibition will feature approximately 150 of Mucha's most important paintings, posters, decorative panels, jewelry and sculpture, pastels, drawings and illustrations. Loans have been negotiated with major museums in the Czech Republic, Britain, Japan and America. Mucha was a highly influential artist at the turn of the century, the leading exponent of the much-heralded "new art," so much so that as early as 1900 illustrations of his work were to be seen in cafes and bars in all the major European capitals, as well as in the United States. To this day, Mucha's work has a very broad appeal. The exhibition, organized by Art Services International, will also travel to the Charles and Emma Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA; The Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa, OK.; the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, N.C.; and the San Diego Museum of Art, CA.
