PRINCEZNA HYACINTA. 1911. 501/4x353/4 inches. V. Neubert, Prague. Condition B+: restored losses in top right corner; repaired tears and creases in margins; vertical and horizontal folds. In 1904 Alphonse Mucha left Paris to move, with his family, to America. He returned to Prague in 1911 and for the rest of his life focused his attention onto the Slav Epic. This was his first poster done upon his return and it can be seen as a bridge between the two major aspects of his career--embodying the stylistic Art Nouveau flourishes that garnered world attention and spawned the term le styl Mucha, as well as representing the ethnic imagery and symbolism which was becoming more and more important to the artist. Rennert/Weill 97.
