In 1887 Mucha moved to Paris to study as an artist, at first as the protege of a wealthy patron, and when financial backing ceased, as an impoverished artist living on a diet of beans and lentils, enduring cold winters and bare accommodition. When fame came to him, he shared it with his less fortunate friends; he was a generous man indeed, who never forgot his own periods of hardship.

INTRODUCTION

The name of Czech artist Alphonse Mucha ( 1860 – 1939 ) is synonymous with Le Style Mucha, a decorative art form that made the artist famous in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century. Today, Alphonse Mucha is recognized for the bridge he created between ” high art ” and commercialism. Mucha was able to straddle both worlds: to create an artwork that could be used for a poster illustration for cigarettes and, at the same time, produce a series of historical painting such as The Slav Epic, which remains a powerful contribution to Czech art history.

A study of Mucha’s life allows one to fully explore and understand the context of Paris at the fin-de-siecle; a fabulous period to be an artist if you were successful; appallingly hard if your work was not recognized. Mucha Lived and worked in Paris for nearly 20 years, from 1887 to 1906.
