ALFONS MUCHA @ Czech Center New York

ALFONS MUCHA: Shaping The Czech Identity
May 31 – June 22, 2018

Exhibition Opening: Thursday, May 31, 2018
7PM in the Gallery

“After a successful career as a leading exponent of the Art Nouveau style in Paris and America, Mucha returned to his native Czech lands in 1910 to paint his magnum opus, The Slav Epic, a cycle of twenty monumental paintings depicting Czech and Slavic history. The Slav Epic will form a spectacular and moving backdrop and context for the display of the first postage stamps and banknotes Mucha created for the newly independent Czechoslovak state. The exhibition will include a range of works in which Mucha addresses Czech identity through lithographs, drawings, photographs, and writings.”
