The Seasons, 1901

Art Print: Born in Bohemia in 1860 Alphonse Marie Mucha moved to Paris in 1890, where under the patronage of Sarah Bernhardt he became a big hit in Art Poster Advertising; after the war, on returning to Czechoslovakia he became the 'Father', of the Slav arts and crafts movement, where Mucha integrated elements of Art Nouveau with Classic National themes; these 'La Saisons' (The Seasons) prints date from Mucha's earlier stay in Paris.
