Portrait of Mucha by A. Tasev Warszawa 1926 Alphonse (Alfons) Mucha (1860 – 1939) was a Czech painter and decorative artist born in 1860 born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia. He is best known for his luxurious poster and product designs, which encapsulate the Art Nouveau style. Contemporary interest in his work was revived in 1980 after an exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. For biographical notes on Mucha see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1 - 11 also. This is part 12 of a 12-part series on the works of Alphonse Mucha: Alphonse Mucha and photography Facts on Alphonse Mucha and photography from the Mucha Foundation http://www.muchafoundation.org Mucha began to take photographs in the early 1880s, probably in Vienna, with a borrowed camera. It was not until he had gained some recognition in Paris and sufficient funds that he purchased his first camera. Mucha’s photographic output grew dramatically after his move to a large studio in the rue du Val de Grâce in 1896. In the new studio, where he had considerably more light thanks to large windows and a glass ceiling, he photographed on a virtually daily basis. Between 1896 and the early 1900s Mucha made a series of photographs of the models posing for him. The use of photography as an inexpensive medium for preliminary studies was common among Mucha’s Parisian contemporaries. It was in his studio that that Mucha entertained countless Parisian artists, writers and musicians. It was also the setting for one of the earliest cinematic projections given by the Lumière brothers, whom Mucha had met in 1895, and for psychic experiments with Camille Flammarion and Albert de Rochas. In the background of the studies of models, examples of Mucha’s work may be seen, surrounded by his collection of objets d’art, books and furniture, many of which survive to this day. The majority of Mucha’s Parisian photographs were not taken for a specific project – he preferred to improvise a number of poses in front of the camera, creating an archive of variants from which he could select what he considered most suitable for the subject of each new commission. 1886c Karel Václav Mašek, Czech painter as a student at the Munich Academy of Art © Mucha Trust c1892 Self-portrait in his studio, Rue de la Grande Chaumière, Paris © Mucha Trust 1893 Paul Gauguin © Mucha Trust 1893 Illustration from 'Le Petit Français Illustré' employing the Paul Gauguin poses above and below © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris 1893 Paul Gauguin © Mucha Trust c1893-94 Paul Gauguin playing Mucha’s harmonium in his studio, Rue de la Grande Chaumière, Paris © Mucha Trust c1893-94 Mucha, Gauguin, and friends at Rue de la Grande Chaumière, Paris © Mucha Trust c1896 Berthe de Lalande, Mucha’s mistress, in Mucha’s studio, Rue du Val de Grâce, Paris © Mucha Trust 1897 Photographic study © Mucha Trust 1897 Photographic study © Mucha Trust 1900 Cover of 'La Medecine' employing the above photographic pose © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris c1897 Mucha's Studio, Mucha’s studio, Rue du Val de Grâce, Paris © Mucha Trust c1898 Photographic study © Mucha Trust c1898 Amilcare Cipriani, Italian revolutionary and socialist, in Mucha's studio, Rue du Val de Grâce, Paris © Mucha Trust 1899 Photographic study.

I got a book about Alexander Calder when I was in middle school. Delving into the book gave me my first glimmer of what it might be like to actually be an artist. The book pictured his Connecticut farmhouse and studio. Art was everywhere and, from then on, that was the image I held of how I wanted to live when I grew up. One of the things that charmed me the most about him was how, in addition to great art, he made things for daily use around the house. He made jewelry for his wife from copper pieces and wire (how romantic!); knives, forks and spoons for the table from bits of metal scraps. It was as though his life and work were all of a piece, art and life weren't separated into compartments, creativity flowed through everything he did.Louisa Calder's dressing table I was entranced with his childhood; his parents were both artists and he always had a studio space for himself in the various homes where they lived. I was envious of of his adult life too; he lived in Paris and was friends with Miro, Arp, and Marcel Duchamp. He worked with Martha Graham. The woman he later married was related to Henry James and philosopher William James. I vaguely remember that Calder had a dust-up with the actor, Burgess Meredith, about a film project and money shenanigans. It was all so exotic and fascinating.Furthermore, I loved (and love) his work. The wire sculptures.The circus. The mobiles. The stabiles. All of it!
