Alfonso Maria Mucha lithographs circa 1902. Fresh to De Stijl Art & Antiques, 703 Commercial St, Emporia KS 620-480-1188
Mucha's project "Documents Decoratifs, which were published in 1902 by the Librarie Centrale des Beaux-Arts, represented ways that floral, vegetal and natural forms could be used in decoration and decorative objects. In about 1900 he had begun to teach at the Academy Colarossi, where he himself had been a student when he first arrived in Paris. His course was precisely described in the catalog: "The object of the Mucha course is to permit the student to have the necessary knowledge for artistic decoration, applied to decorative panels, windows, porcelain, enamels, furniture, jewelry, posters, etc."
