ALPHONSE MUCHA LES ETOILES / CLAIRE DE LUNE. 1902. 30x111/2 inches. [F. Champenois, Paris.] Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and restoration in image. Matted and framed. "In this series [of four], Mucha deals symbolically with the stars . . . these are . . . lovely designs, and the suggestion of pale moonlight and clouds chasing across the night's sky is done beautifully. Note the subtle shadings conveying the idea of indirect lighting, which permeate each scene with a strange mystic quality, haunting and mysterious, unique in Mucha's works. And the flowery borders are virtually textbook examples of Art Nouveau as carried out by its master." (Rennert/Weill p. 297) Rennert/Weill 82.
