Alphonse Maria Mucha. 1860-1939 [http://www.bpib.com/illustrat/mucha.htm](http://www.bpib.com/illustrat/mucha.htm) How can I describe the art of a god?

While I wouldn’t quite call him a god, Mucha was the muzi! Anyway, I don’t think advertisements ever looked so good. Those colors! The Slavic epics are absolutely brilliant. I just wish someone had a decent collection of his art in print so I could wallpaper my place with it. ---

If you’re on LJ, **Bosda** , I recently posted an entry in my journal with a bunch of Mucha images and very simple icons that I made. I think I friends locked it, but if you want to the link let me know and I’ll check and then e-mail it to you. I personally love Art Nouveau. I really must get around to my goal of being one of Mucha’s postergirls for Halloween. A pale imitation of the original, but if would be so much fun to dress diaphonously and be flower-bedecked. ---

I think Art Nouveau is my favorite, and I like your favorite artist alot **Bosda** , but i think he can’t replace [Gustav Klimpt](http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/klimt_gustav.html) as mine. Klimpt was known to keep working and detailing his portraits until the patron came and took it away. Sometimes the subject gets lost in the pattern and I still love them. Intellectually I adore the simplicity of Monet’s later work, where every line or drop of paint is essential, but the clutter of Klimpt speaks to my soul, or at least I recognise myself there. ---

Mucha is quite the favorite in our household as well. We have a print of his [Four Seasons](http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/pd--10084339/Four_Seasons_1896.htm) hanging above our bed. I’d like to get his four "Star"s prints as well, but I’ve only seen those sold as four individual prints, and that gets kinda expensive.
