1902
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Documents Decoratifs: Plate 41 is a 1902 by Alphonse Mucha, a Art Nouveau work, depicting Floral Pattern, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a flowing robe holding a large book. Her wavy hair frames a calm face. Gold patterns swirl around her like a frame. Mucha used flat colors and bold outlines to make art that felt modern for 1902. The book’s cover matches the background design, tying everything together. Look up Alphonse Mucha (Czech, 1860–1939) for more of his flowing lines and gold edges.
Alfons Maria Mucha, known internationally as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech painter, illustrator, and graphic artist.
