Alphonse Mucha
Plants, women and ornaments wind around one another in Mucha鈥檚 beautiful picto颅rial world. The Czech-born Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) won great fame in Paris in the period around the turn of the last century. His posters occu颅pied public space, and he made no distinction between painting, design and advertising. His prolific production was a tribute to beauty, physical and spiritual, based on the wish to improve mankind and the world. In Mucha鈥檚 works nature and the city, plants and humans, goodness and consumption all merge. If you are looking for 鈥榤ind颅fulness鈥� and 鈥榮low living鈥�, Mucha鈥檚 aesthetic universe is the place to go.
ARKEN鈥檚 major exhibition unfolds Mucha鈥檚 art in all its breadth with painting, posters, adver颅tisements, photographs, design, jewellery and interiors. At the same time it presents examples of the psychedelic art of the 1960s and 1970s, which found its inspiration in Mucha鈥檚 artistic universe.
鈥淒ivine nature speaks to our soul鈥� She awakes in our hearts joy and happiness by the simple lines, proportions and colour of a small flower.鈥�
