Alphonse Mucha: The Spirit of Art Nouveau
Dates:1.1.2050-1.1.2999
Alphonse Mucha (1890-1939) was one of the most important decorative artists in Paris at the turn of the century. His sensual female portraits with their elaborate borders?le style Mucha?embody the essence of Art Nouveau. The Mucha family and the Mucha Foundation have put together a touring exhibition of Mucha's work, and this is the companion volume. Though numerous works on Mucha have appeared in the past few decades, none have been as exhaustive as this illustrated group of essays by noted European experts. The full-scale treatment covers paintings, decorative panels, pastels, drawings, photographs, jewelry, and advertisements as well as numerous book and magazine illustrations. The essays elucidate Mucha's political activities in Czechoslovakia, which spawned the enormous murals "The Slav Epic"; his association with the actress Sarah Bernhardt; and the impact of American patronage on his later work. This lavish homage may prove to be the most important study of an amazing and prolific artist. Highly recommended.?Joseph C.

Architecture moderne, principes et mutations (1750-1950)
Dates:1.1.2050-1.1.2999
Cet ouvrage de référence de Peter Collins, enfin accessible en français, est une oeuvre pionnière autour de l'histoire des doctrines du mouvement moderne. L'ouvrage couvre un champ très large tout en restant ouverte à une vision critique toujours enrichissante. Partant d'un corpus de références touchant à la littérature, l'histoire, la sociologie, l'histoire de l'art, l'archéologie, l'esthétique., l'auteur interroge le rôle fondamental joué, durant les deux derniers siècles, par les formes structurales dans l'évolution de l'architecture moderne.

Art in the Street: European Posters
Dates:15.12.2012-21.7.2013
The international poster mania of the 1890s made fine art accessible to the masses, bringing it out of the salon into the streets and shop windows. Great posters proliferated, however, long after this “golden age,” as revealed by the standout images in “Art in the Street” from the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s. With about 40 posters in all—highlights from the Museum’s collection of some 2,500—the show takes in virtually every major style in poster design of this era, from Art Nouveau to Russian photomontage. Also on view are major works by Jules Chéret, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Pierre Bonnard, as well as less familiar work from Northern Europe, including a Secession poster by Wassily Kandinsky and a selection of Dutch posters from around 1910. The show concludes with several Swiss “object posters,” bold illustrations of an isolated product that dispense with text.
