Editorial Reviews
Seventy large-size illustrations trace Mucha's skills as a draftsman over more than 40 years. Among the more famous examples are original plans and drawings for "The Seasons," sketches for the Sarah Bernhardt poster, studies from Mucha's stunning and innovative stylebooks, and a sketch for the St. Louis World’s Fair poster.

Mucha beautiful!, 2007-11-13
by Matilda Jane Holmes
I am a porcelain artist and this book has been so inspirational. I think we should have heard more of this artist.
Inside the mind of the artist, 2007-01-11
by Claudio Procida (Palermo, PA Italy)
I appreciated this book as it gives a different perspective on Mucha's works. Being mostly a collection of pencil drawn sketches, it lets you enter the creative process of the artist, while other books I own just present the finished work.
Really useful for who'd like to understand his approach to drawing.

A Brief but Decent Introduction to Brilliance, 2006-10-30
by C. J. Hardman (San Diego, CA USA)
This affordable and brief work to the works of Alphonse Mucha offers an introduction to the artist. Includes some early works, preliminary drafts, and finished products. Useful for those who are studying technique--you can see how he drew (pencil--a few in ink). About 60 illustrations in all, 8 of these in color. I remain fascinated with Mucha's perspectives on beauty. Very inspirational!
What a joy to behold!, 2005-09-10
by D. D Lawson (Pasadena, Calif. USA)
What charm & grace does the man bring forth! Its things like this that make life worth living and makes us all just that much better.
The master at work, 2000-04-07
by Vicky Sherrouse (Pearland, Texas, USA)
The pencil drawings in this book are fascinating. You can really see how he worked on each design, and occasionally the original sketch has some interesting variations from the final product. I particularly enjoyed some of the less popular works that are to be found here.
