	An Introduction to Art Nouveau and the Work of Alphonse Mucha (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Mucha did, however, manage to survive these lean years on income earned from his art work, none of which at this period was particularly original or remarkable—he was a working artist taking small commissions to support himself as best he could.
		Mucha's portraits of women and girls typically locate them in a design strongly evocative of nature or natural patterning, and there is nothing about them of the high-society decadence which we see, for example, in the work of his contemporary Gustav Klimt.
		For the funeral of Alfons Mucha was, first and foremost, an assertion of the Czech identity in the early months of a brutal Nazi occupation--a moment of popular passive resistance, an act of defiance against the occupying authorities who had banned all public demonstrations (22).

	Alfons Mucha: Fraternal Slavdom - Tuesday April 25th - 10:00 - Prague, Czech Republic
		The night fairy-like spectacle on the Vltava with impressive illumination and music accompaniment was designed as a "dramatic series of major historical-symbolic frescos, which develop the idea of the brotherhood of Slavs throughout the history from the semi-mythical times up to this day".
		Mucha originally thought that the spectacle would be repeated for four main Sokol Festival evenings, and also in the years to come in the form of spring nationwide Prague festivities, "which would be a worthy replacement of the outmoded and superficial St. John festivities for collective tours of villagers to Prague".
		This generous project is thus documented only in Mucha's outstanding pen drawings with watercolour or gouache, which represent allegorical carriages and fantasy ships with burning fires against the dark background.
