Alphonse Mucha Laurel Art Nouveau iPhone 5 Case

Alphonse Mucha Laurel Art Nouveau iPhone 5 Case


Le Laurier (Laurel), 1901 by Alphonse Mucha. Original piece: color lithograph, 53 x 39.5 cm (20.9" x 15.6"). Like its companion piece Le Lierre (Ivy), the wonderful trompe l'oeil effect gives this piece an earthy, garden feel and a tactile appeal. You want to actually reach out and feel the texture of the tile mosaics. The Arts and Crafts Movement influence is stronger and the palette more restrained in these two pieces than in his other works, yet that lyrical Mucha magic is as potent as ever. I love the the marvelous greens against the rich browns accented with dusty lilac and goldenrod.

Alphonse Mucha La Plume Quill Pen iPhone 5 Case

La Plume (The Pen -- also known as The Quill) by Alphonse Mucha, 1899.  One of two decorative panels from the set Plume et Primevere. This work is lesser known but is among the most highly praised by art critics. "These two symbolic figures, complete with Mucha's customary aureoles around their heads and adorned with filigrees in their hair, comprise one of the best decorative panel sets marketed by Champenois" (Rennert/Weill p. 240).

The lady holds a feather quill and laurel branches before her, a faint smile playing on her lips. Her fabulous jewelry and headpiece suggests a theatrical performance of the day, and her blond hair is swept up. The mosaic medallion behind her lends a marvelous tactile sense. In the upper corners you can glimpse blue roses. Colors include chocolate brown, French blue, golden yellow, soft sage greens, blue green, cinnabar red, white and rosy beige.

A perfect gift for a writer, reader or anyone who loves art, books and literature.

Alphonse Mucha Princess Hyacinth iPhone 5 Case

Alphonse Mucha Princess Hyacinth iPhone 5 Case

Alphonse Mucha's Princezna Hyacinta (Princess Hyacinth), 1911.

From the poster for the fairy tale ballet and pantomime production Princezna Hyacinta by Ladislav Novák and Oskar Nedbal presented in Prague during the 1911 season. The subject of the play was a blacksmith who dreamed his daughter was a princess kidnapped by a sorcerer. Andula Sedláková starred in the title role and the portrait of the celebrated actress dominates the poster, her blue eyes steadily fixed upon the viewer.

Decorative elements include hearts, blacksmith tools, a star-spangled crown and instruments of sorcery, all references to the ballet. A hyacinth motif appears throughout, most evidently on the circlet held in the actress's hands, and also in her exquisite jewelry. There are even hyacinth florets dangling from from the princess's marvelous crown. Colors include teal blue, teal green, cinnabar red, golden ivory, antique white and a touch of olive green.

Alphonse Mucha Gismonda iPhone 5 Case

Alphonse Mucha Gismonda iPhone 5 Case

Gismonda by Alphonse Mucha, 1894.  One of Mucha's most famous posters.

"For Mucha, proponent of Art Nouveau, woman was a subject of reverence, even worship, and nowhere, did he express it more eloquently than in his first poster for the immortal actress Sarah Bernhardt. 'Gismonda' was a biblical period piece whose Palm Sunday procession in the third act allowed Mucha to cloth the actress in a gown of Byzantine opulence and to give her a wonderful expression" (First Ladies of the Poster: The Gold Collection, by Laura Gold)

"…at the appearance of Gismonda on the billboards, Paris was bowled over; an odscure illustrator (Mucha) became an overnight celebrity, and posters were suddenly discussed seriously as art form in circles which would have before not even deigned to grant them a passing mention… Mucha's masterly composition, his unerreing eye for decorative detail, flawless draftsmanship and an exquisitely delicate sensitivity for muted colours combined with his skill in lithography to produce a masterpiece" (Posters of the Belle Epoque; The Wine Spectator Collection, by Jack Rennert.)

Marvelous palette of gold, blue, pale lilac and white. See more Alphonse Mucha items in our store's Art Nouveau Collection.
