I will start this blog with a classic and recognizable image. Alphonse Mucha (http://www.muchafoundation.org) will forever be one of the greatest illustrators of all time as well as one of my personal favorites. The JOB Cigarette ad shown above is used as an example of Art Nouveau time and time again yet I will never get sick of the beautiful line work, the decorative border and Muchas undeniably impressive way of transforming a woman's figure and hair. Not only was Mucha an illustrator of unmatched technical ability but he also came up with incredible ground breaking ideas of how to use women in advertisement. Someday I will make my way to Prague to drool over originals at the Mucha Museum... someday.
