As you may/may not already know, I'm currently working on my dissertation that's due next month. I can't believe how quickly time flies! One moment it was still October, and then it was Halloween and before I know it, it's now Bonfire night!
This made me panic a little but now I seem to be going a really 'relaxing' stage. Little do I know is that I'm procrastinating; I've been working non-stop for the past couple of weeks that I haven't even managed to take a break.
Due to the short amount of time I have I now need to find something, or someone, inspirational for my dissertation, and that's where Alphonse Mucha, a legendary Art Nouveau artist, steps in.
Alphonse Mucha rose to fame after producing a poster design for the actress Sarah Bernhadt, Gismonda, in 1894. Since then he has illustration numerous works from champagne to cigarettes. Here are some of my favourite posters:
From left to right: Gismonda, 1893; The Precious Stones (Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, Topaz), 1900; Bieres de la Meuse, 1897; Job, 1898.
Hope this post was inspirational to you! I'll be posting these more often alongside my university projects.
Thanks for reading!
