He is a very popular artist in Japan, having created numerous commercial posters and illustrations!
The most famous are the "Four Seasons" series of decorative posters, which depict women and flowers using both flat and curved surfaces, and Princess Hyacinth.
The highlight of this issue is the "Slavic epic poem".
I think I caught a glimpse of a new aspect of Mucha's work.
"A lover of his homeland and a humanitarian, he created a magnificent series of paintings whose subject matter was drawn from the history of the Czech and Slavic peoples in order to unite the people of the Slavic nations in their ongoing struggle for freedom and independence."

I recommend that you try your best to get up early in the morning to go!

Oh, yes, I digress,
In addition to the Slavic epic, there were other works on display, such as Mucha's decorative posters,
Most of them are from "Sakai City".
I wondered why ・・・・・ and looked it up,
Sakai City, Osaka, has a "Sakai Alphonse Mucha PavilionIt is said that there is such a thing as "a
Kimio Doi, who has been personally collecting Mucha's works since he was not well known, has a collection of up to 500 pieces."doi collection" was apparently donated by Doi's family to Sakai City, Osaka, where Doi spent his honeymoon years, after his death in 1990.

We encourage everyone to visit.
