born in the city of Ivancice (Moravia, Austrian Empire) on July 24, 1860. His singing abilities allowed him to continue his secondary education in Brno, capital of Moravia, but a child is his first love for drawing. He worked at decorative painting jobs in Moravia, mainly for theatrical scenery. In 1879 he moved to Vienna to work with a Viennese theatrical design company achieved informally furthering his artistic education. When in 1881 a fire destroyed his employer's business, he returned to Moravia, working independently, making decorative and portrait painting. Count Karl Khuen of Mikulov hired to decorate with murals Emmahof Hrušovany Castle, and was so impressed that he agreed to sponsor Mucha's formal training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.



Sarah Bernhardt Mucha moved to Paris in 1887 and continued his studies at Académie Julian and Academie Colarossi while also producing illustrations for magazines and advertising.
The famous lithographic poster with actress Sarah Bernhardt in the title role of Gismonda.Su rise to fame he did with his first lithographic poster for the actress Sarah Bernhardt and the Theatre de la Renaissance, posters announcing the play by Victorien Sardou Gismonda appeared in early January 1895 on the walls of Paris, and caused a real sensation. Sarah Bernhardt Mucha immediately offered an exclusive contract for six years. Posters made for it helped to spread the fame of actress beyond the borders of France. Until 1901, Mucha was responsible not only billboards, but also the scenery and costumes of the Théâtre de la Renaissance. It was this work, with its lush stylized, which gave him fame and numerous commissions.

Other posters famous for the Théâtre de la Renaissance are: La Dame aux
camélias (1896)
Lorenzaccio (1899)
La Samaritaine (1897)
Médée (1898)
Hamlet (1899)
Tosca (1899)
When Mucha visited the United States was recruited by the eccentric actress Mrs. Leslie Carter who tried to exceed the luxury and ostentation of the plays of Sarah Bernhardt, which eventually led to ruin. The format and the configuration of the posters were similar to those made for the Théâtre de la Renaissance by 1900, with an influence of the jewelry created for Georges Fouquet.

The jeweler Georges Fouquet
Another stage of the route are of high artistic creations for the series of jewelry made by the Parisian jeweler Georges Fouquet following the designs of Mucha. A Fouquet drew his attention to the decorations that adorned Many women of their posters and panels reproduced with great detail, also in its material properties. Fouquet presented a collection of jewelry designs made on lot in Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900, prevailed in the eastern and Byzantine reminiscences. He also designed the interiors of Fouquet's jewelry. Much later resigned in order to reach wider groups of buyers for their works. Work


characterized actress Maude Adams as Joan of Arco.Mucha produced a large number of paintings, posters, advertisements and illustrations as well as designs for jewelry, carpets, wallpaper, and theater sets (lithographs) in what became known as the Art Nouveau style. Mucha's works frequently featured young women, healthy, beautiful, floating vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed haloes behind their heads. This style was often imitated. Anyway, Mucha attempted to distance itself from such a style throughout his life, insisting that rather than adhering to any fashionable stylistic form, his paintings originated in his own inspiration. He declared that art existed only to communicate a spiritual message and nothing else, hence his frustration at the fame he gained through commercial art. Therefore always wanted to concentrate on more lofty projects that would ennoble art and his birthplace. Many visited the United States between 1906 and 1910, then returned to Czech lands and settled in Prague, where he decorated the Theater of Fine Arts and other landmarks of the city.
When Czechoslovakia became independent after World War I, Mucha designed postage stamps, banknotes and other government documents for the new nation. He spent many years working on what he considered his masterpiece, The Slav Epic (Slovanské epopej), a series of huge paintings depicting the history of the Slavic peoples, which were donated to the city of Prague in 1928. Many had dreamed of completing this series, a celebration of Slavic epic, from his youth. When the Germans invaded Czechoslovakia, Mucha was arrested and interrogated by the occupiers. Never recovered from the stress of this episode, or see their country invaded and conquered. He died in Prague on July 14, 1939 as a result of pneumonia and was buried in the cemetery at Vysehrad. His last painting was the oath of union of the Slavs.
At the time of his death, Mucha's style was considered old-fashioned, but interest in his art revived in the 1960's, and continues to experience interest on a regular basis ever since, influencing contemporary illustrators. Much of the interest in Mucha's work can be attributed to his son, the author Jiri Mucha, who wrote extensively about his father and spent much of his life to call attention to the works of him.
