Displaying his preference for gentle pastels, elaborate borders, and beautiful women, the pocket-size masterpieces include Zodiac, one of the artist's most popular and enduring designs; Sarah Bernhardt/La Plume; the richly decorative R verie; the rare Cognac Bisquit; and twenty other works of art.Ideal for use as distinctive stationery and bookmarks, the attractive cards are accompanied by descriptive paragraphs that include title, printer, date, and other relevant data.
Mucha, Alphonse Maria (1860-1939), is best known for his Sarah Bernhardt posters and exquisite ornamental panels such as The Seasons. Mucha's creative style guides, which pioneered the use of Art Nouveau in commercial packaging, design, and ornament, are appreciated by graphic artists and commercial designers.
