Mm 235x285 Catalogo della mostra di Roma, Complesso del Vittoriano - Ala Brasini, 15 aprile - 11 settembre 2016. Volume in copertina rigida, 248 pagine completamente illustrate a colori. Libro in condizioni di nuovo - "Donne. Sorridenti, sensuali, sinuose, dalle forme morbide e i volti gentili. Donne dagli sguardi intensi, forti e coraggiose, ambiziose, combattive. Donne fragili, materne, protettive, sante e innamorate. Giovanne d'Arco e Medee. Donne sconosciute e altre celebri: Sarah Bernhardt, Ethel Barrymore, Leslie Carter, Halide Edip Adivar. Le donne di Mucha, immortalate dall'artista con il tocco leggero, sono protagoniste della monografia che accompagna la grande esposizione romana: oltre duecento opere (dipinti, disegni e manifesti) appartenenti alla Fondazione Mucha compongono uno straordinario ritratto di Alphonse Mucha, il più grande artista ceco, noto nel panorama artistico per aver ideato, nei primi del Novecento, quello stile caratterizzato da linee curve e morbide che si diffonderà in tutto il mondo con il nome di Art Nouveau o Stile Liberty. Introdotto dal saggio di Tomoko Sato, presidente della Fondazione Mucha, il volume è suddiviso in sei sezioni (Un bohémien a Parigi; Un creatore di immagini per il grande pubblico; Un cosmopolita; Il mistico; Il patriota; L'artista-filosofo) e ricostrusce per intero il percorso figurativo e umano di un grande artista ancora poco conosciuto in Italia." Copia in condizioni di nuovo, spedizione in 24 ore dalla conferma dell'ordine.
