The Master of the Art Nouveau- Alphonse Mucha
These amazing mirrors are reproductions from a Czechoslovakian artist named Alphonse Mucha, who lived from 1860-1939. He was one of the most important masters of art nouveau, if not the main person who ushered in the movement. He was a visionary artist known for his posters and illustrations which served to elevate women into icons of what it means to be fierce and feminine. They were beautiful, sensuous, and natural, yet had an image of strength. These type of images were later used in advertising, to help sell anything from cigarettes to beer to chocolate and bicycles.
