Mucha, A. M. - Documents décoratifs. Planches 21 et 22. [Female beauty in blue - posters for Art et Décoration Revue mensuelle d'Art moderne].

Paris, Librairie Central des Beaux Arts, 1901. Two plates. Folio (46.0 x 33.0 cm). Original prints in blue, on blue paper, mounted on white paper with printed number. A fine, uniform set of prints from Alphonse Mucha's quintessential Art Nouveau book, Documents décoratifs. Alfons "Alphonse" Maria Mucha (1860-1939) was a Czech decorative artist, who wanted to bring aesthetic values into arts and crafts. He invented the "Mucha Style", which soon became known as Art Nouveau. His work immediately became immensely popular and has remained very sought-after. These two plates show Mucha's iconic dedication to female beauty, pairing seemingly contradictory quick sketching with a fabulous eye for detail and expression. Very light toning, tiny tear to the up to upper right outer corner of the first plate, otherwise fine. Rare.
