The Joy of Mucha, 2008-07-13
by S. Catherall (Marion, IA United States)
I concur with everyone else's opinion on this book and want to add what a great value this is for the money. All the reproductions are beautiful. As someone else has said, the book has a fine text and it also shows the breadth of Mucha's work showing sculpture and sketches as well as his famous posters. This book is jam packed with the best of Mucha and I can't recommend it highly enough for true Mucha fans. I sometimes cut up books like this for framing, but there are TOO MANY great pictures to separate them. A marvelous vision of all of his life's work with many hard to find reproductions.
Mucha the great, in print!!!!, 2007-11-08
by Derrick L. Purdy (LAla, CA)
Wonderful book, very good bio of the man plus a great many examples of his work. Only downfall to me is i wished the images would have been larger. But thats just me nitpicking, because i absolutely love this book. I think anyone who's a fan of Mucha should own this book. Cheers, enjoy.
Spectacular, 2007-10-28
by TenBodyGun (Maplewood, NJ United States)
I was extremely happy with this. The only negative thing I have to say about this book is I wish some of the prints were larger.

This has a great collection of Mucha's artwork, and an in depth look at the mans life; including photo's of models and photo's of his own family.

If you enjoy Alphonse Mucha, this is a must own.
Good, but wish I had my book from prague, 2007-02-27
by Heather (Florida)
This book is great for those who do not have a great book on Mucha. The book contains a superior history of Mucha's life and intro the Art Neuvou period(Art Nuvo). Mucha should be credited with the entire period in my opinion.

There is wide sampling of his works, beyond that in other books. There are examples of jewelry, metal works, paintings, prints, furniture, and architecture. The images are printed very well.

All in all, this is the second best book; The best book was purchased in Prague at his museum (can't find in US...or remember name). This book had mostly paintings but I miss the superior color quality and few pictures run across two pages (a pet peeve of mine and occasional issue in this book)...this book seems to be as good as it gets here.
Can't get better than this. , 2006-05-17
by Sarah OSullivan (Australia)
This book has it all lots of pictures as well as interesting information on Mucha and his work. I feel that it shows how he and his work became an icon of Art Nouveau. It is not just posters and panels that are covered it goes into every aspect of Mucha's work. There is information and pictures on "The Slav Epic", jewellery, lead light pastels, drawings and more. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves Mucha or Art Nouveau.
