Czech artist Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) defined the look of Art Nouveau with his sinuous lines, radiant color, and elegant figures that transformed posters, advertisements, and everyday design. Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line celebrates the artist’s revolutionary graphic work—the medium that made him an international sensation. Featuring more than 100 works from the Mucha Trust Collection, the exhibition traces his rise in Paris through his iconic designs for legendary French actress, Sarah Bernhardt and his influence across illustration, design, and popular culture. From the swirling psychedelia of the 1960s to the expressive dynamism of Japanese manga, and American comics, Mucha’s visual language continues to captivate artists and audiences alike, proving that the magic of his line is truly timeless.
