well, here is the biography of alfons mucha
you can actually visit a mucha museum in prague. there is also a mucha restuarant where you can find his posters... and you can find them in many other pubs and restaurants in the centre as well...
and this is what we saw in the class. yeah, a typical mucha.
but this is also mucha. would you believe this is painted by the same person?
belive it! this is the famous slav epic... just great! i simply cannot understand how he could change his "typical" style so much. he was really good...
yeah, he was really good although we (czechs) do not like him that much as he is everywhere and foreigners are crazy about him, want us to send them postcards with his paintings and make us to see his exhibition whenever they visit our capital.
but of course, we are very proud of him. we take him as a part of our history, culture, heritage. we are proud of him so much that we use him as an example of czech capabilities and all the other "we are a great nation" things. have a look here and you understand what i mean :)
btw. this video tells really a lot about us: we just have to drink beer to get great ideas ;)
