1860 - 1939
Alphonse Mucha is a art Nouveau (french for new art) artist who is known for his distinctive style and is a skilled illustrator. His best known pieces were advertisements for products during the 1890's which often depicted women withe the products the imagery was showcasing created with the style of art nouveau.
His work is highly detailed and the aspects are realistic to a degree yet slight inhansed to show the art nouveau style more. This would involve the subject matter that was usually women being realistic and anatomically correct yet their hair being longer and having long curves which is a main part of art nouveau. This style works very well when the subject matter is a woman's hair and works well on many other objects such as flowers and anything that can be long and curved since that is the basic principle of art nouceau.
Overall I think this style works very well and Alphonse Mucha uses it very well and very greatly with the subject matter he is conveying. It keeps a sense of realism yet adapting aspects to make them seem more interesting and idealic using the art nouveau style to the ordinary seem like art work
