Alfons Mucha and the Others: Treasures of Art Nouveau

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The critical catalogue accompanying the exhibition of the same name in the cities of Guangzhou and Nanjing in China presents works selected from the collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague and the Prague City Gallery. These works represent the finest achievements created by Czech artists in the late 19th and early 20th century, in an atmosphere marked by cultural emancipation and the onset of Modernism in art. The many artistic trends of that period, manifested through efforts towards art synthesis, more subjective forms of Symbolism, the blending of individual art media, and a distinctive, highly decorative visual idiom, were stylistically unified by the European Art Nouveau movement. The superb selection of works by A. Mucha, F. Bílek, V. Preissig and other artists embodies the pluralistic approach to Modern Art, typical for the Czech artistic milieu, that resulted in the co-existence of diversified, often contradictory views and stylistic idioms. The selected artworks attest to a shift towards the autonomy of the subjective and the individual that formulated art in the late 19th and early 20th century, as a strong artistic impulse that continued to be apparent even in the mature works produced by the protagonists of this transformation. These works also testify to the ideals, dreams and visions that moulded the arts and culture of modern Europe, with the objects of decorative and applied arts, design and advertisement documenting how these ideals were reflected in everyday, real life at the turn of the century.
