Summer
1900
Mucha captures the essence of a lazy summer day here, with a woman wading through a sea of golden wheat while clutching massive bouquets of wildflowers. Her flowing, semi-sheer gown and the intricate, plant-like border are textbook Art Nouveau, a style Mucha practically popularized single-handedly in Paris. This image is part of his famous 'The Seasons' series, originally designed as decorative panels for homes. It’s no wonder this look became so iconic that the French literally called it 'Le Style Mucha'—talk about personal branding!
