Explore the enduring influence of Alphonse Mucha through this comprehensive exhibition catalog. This 240-page hardcover surveys the Art Nouveau master's graphic evolution from 1860s Moravia to his iconic fin-de-siècle Paris posters, then traces his profound impact on Psychedelic Art, comics, manga, and contemporary visual culture. Organized into three thematic sections—Inspirations for the Mucha Style, Le Style Mucha, and The Rebirth of the Mucha Style and Its Legacy—the book examines both the theoretical foundations of "le style Mucha" and its philosophical legacy in message-making. Featuring 212 color and 21 black-and-white images, it connects Mucha's artistic idiom to modern fashion, animation, and design. Published by the Mucha Foundation to accompany a five-museum touring exhibition across the US and Mexico, including the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (April–August 2026). Edited by Tomoko Sato with contributions from leading scholars and artists.
