This event has ended.

While many artists express their individuality through original creative flair, the forms ubiquitous in Alphonse Mucha’s posters, decorative panels, and other graphic works define his style. His signature designs, which becameprevailing art trends in Paris at the end of the 19th century, inspired many imitators. Luxuriant plants and mysterious women clad in long dresses are among the motifs of his works, which also often feature pale, delicate colors, curved lines covering the entirety of the frame, and detailed decorative patterns. Focusing on the trademark “Mucha Style”, this exhibition explores several keywords related to this artist’s works and their special traits. How did this artist bring out the elements of his established style? The secret to the charm of his works may lie in this question.
