Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line
Art Nouveau poster art at The Philips Collection.
Timeless Mucha surveys Czech painter and decorative artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), exploring his revolutionary contributions to graphic design and the enduring influence of his signature style. This special exhibition at the Goh Annex and Sant Building of The Phillips Collection from February 22-May 18. 2025.
Featuring over 100 works from the Mucha Trust Collection, the exhibition traces Mucha’s artistic evolution—from his early training to his rise as a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement—highlighting his intricate linework, flowing forms, and highly stylized designs that transformed poster art, commercial illustration, and visual aesthetics worldwide. In the 1960s, Mucha’s distinctive style was revived in the vibrant poster art of the counterculture movement, becoming a hallmark of psychedelic rock posters, album covers, comic books, and Japanese manga.
This exhibition is organized by the Mucha Foundation.
