Original Painting Antic Czech Art signed Mucha Picture(s) and Description:
"Beautiful Girl" ink and watercolor on paper, signed Mucha (Czechoslovakian 1860– 1939) Alphonse Mucha Birth name Born Died Nationality Field Training Movement Influenced by Influenced Alfons Maria Mucha 24 July 1860 (1860-07-24) Ivancice, Moravia , Austrian Empire (today's Czech Republic) 14 July 1939 (aged 78) Prague, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia Czechoslovakia Painting, Illustration, Decorative art Fauvism Munich Academy of Fine Arts Académie Julian Académie Colarossi Art Nouveau Neoclassicism Paul Harvey Kevin Wasden Alphonse Maria Mucha , first name from the Czech Alfons (24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939) was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, best known for his images of women. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, and designs. By the time of his death, Mucha's style was considered outdated. However, his son, author Jirí Mucha , devoted much of his life to writing about him and bringing attention to his art. Interest in Mucha's distinctive style experienced a strong revival in the 1960s (with a general interest in Art Nouveau) and is particularly evident in the psychedelic posters of Hapshash and the Coloured Coat , the collective name for two British artists, Michael English and Nigel Waymouth, who designed posters for groups such as Pink Floyd and The Incredible String Band. In his own country, the new authorities were not interested in Mucha. His Slav Epic was rolled and stored for twenty-five years before being shown in Moravsky Krumlov and only recently has a Mucha museum appeared in Prague, run by his grandson, John Mucha. It has continued to experience periodic revivals of interest for illustrators and artists. It is a strong acknowledged influence for Stuckist painter Paul Harvey whose subjects have included Madonna and whose work was used to promote The Stuckists Punk Victorian show at the Walker Art Gallery during the 2004 Liverpool Biennial. the Japanese manga artist Naoko Takeuchi released a series of official posters depicting five of the main characters from her manga series Sailor Moon mimicking Mucha's style. Another manga artist, the 1962 born Masakazu Katsura has also mimicked Mucha's style several times. Comic book artist and current Marvel Comics Editor in Chief Joe Quesada also borrowed heavily from Mucha's techniques for a series of covers, posters, and prints. Grindcore and sludge metal band Soilent Green used a picture by Mucha for the cover of their album Sewn Mouth Secrets. One of Mucha's paintings, Quo Vadis or alternately Petronius and Eunice , was the subject of a legal dispute in 1986. The judgment handed down by Richard Posner describes parts of Mucha's life and work biographically. Among his many other accomplishments, Mucha was also the restorer of Czech Freemasonry . In our opinion this is an outstanding painting, ink and watercolor on paper. This is wonderfully delightful and looks like Mucha's figurative painting, which bears the signature of Mucha. We think this is the work of Mucha or attributed to Mucha. This painting measures 45.5cm x 24.5cm. It will be an amazing showcase in any serious collection or on display in any home. In our expertise, the paper and frame definately look old. We opened the frame to inspect the painting and the backside was closed with an old newspaper from 1930. Please see the pohotographs for a complete view. We think the quality of this painting is outstanding and in our opinion considered to be museum quality. Judging from past auction results, Mucha's paintings are highly valued and in our opinion, this kind of painting in a gallery would be valued around $25,000 - $35,000. Provenance: We purchased this painting a few years ago at from the estate of Raymond Rickert in Chicago. We don't have any more information or provanance on this piece. We are selling this painting in the same condition how we purchased it. We have not consulted with any art experts about this piece. We sell it like "in manner of" or "after" Mucha because we are not experts and can only provide the information available to us and description as best we can. So why is it here and not in Sotheby's New York? Authentication of Mucha's work is highly contentious, and so-called experts often seem to disagree. We don't have the luxury of the delay while different experts with different opinions fight over who is right, so this is sold as "manner of Mucha " in case expert analysis cannot agree that this is by Mucha himself. Please check for yourself Mucha's artwork, maybe you will find something similar. Mucha is one of the most expensive artists in the world. His artwork constantly sells at record prices at auction houses and galleries, even paintings that are "attributed to" or "in manner of" have attracted the attention of collectors and sell for high prices around the world. We are starting the bidding from $1 with a relatively low reserve for this kind of art. Good luck and have fun bidding on art by a great master's hand or his follower. We hope you will be the winner of this amazing painting. Please carefully read our description and ask questions before bidding because we don't want to have any misunderstanding over what is said in our description and policies. We are always willing to work with our clients and help you with any questions. Description explanations: We adopt the same terms used by auction houses worldwide when cataloguing works of art. They are: The first name and surname of the artist: In our opinion this is a work by the artist. The name of the artist preceded by "after": In our opinion this is a copy of the work of the artist. Bears signature/date/inscription: In our opinion the work has been signed/dated/inscribed by a person other than the artist. Attributed to: In our opinion this is probably a work by the artist. Circle of: In our opinion this is a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence. Follower of: In our opinion a work executed in the style of the artist but not necessarily by a pupil. Manner of: In our opinion a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date. You agree to these terms by bidding. They're good enough for Sotheby's and Christie's so they must be good enough for us! We firmly believe it is better to buy an original painting by young or unknown, but extremely talented master artist, or even in manner of great master painters or attributed, but definately not buying Giclee, prints, serigraph or copy prints made on cheap machine from China, which is strickly business and nothing else, just take your money today but tomorrow render it worthless. If you believe some Giclee is worth thousands, good luck but thats nothing but throwing your money through the window, because any kind of reproduction by machine has no hand or soul of a master artist who put his heart into his paintings. We think it is better to support original art only. All paintings are packaged and shipped by a freelance shipping contractor.
