MUCHA'S LADIES



If you've ever visited one of those cafés that aspire to have a bohemian/beatnik look, you've probably come across a poster design by Alphonse Mucha adorning the walls at some point.

Mucha was a designer/artist from Czech Republic tied very closely with the art nouveau movement in the early beginnings of the 20th century. He mainly produced posters and imagery for theatrical plays and simple ads, being the core of his works the depiction of  women, reinterpreting classical themes with a very particular style, one that stills seems timeless and contemporary.

For more detailed info here's the link to Mucha's foundation. As usual more incredible images after the break.
