Alphonse Mucha was an Art Nouveau artist born in Bohemia in 1860. His early years were spent painting theatrical scenes in Moravia. He moved to Paris in 1890 where he became the star of the poster-art movement under the patronage of Sarah Bernhardt. After World War I he returned to Czechoslovakia and became the father of the Slavic arts and crafts movement, which combined elements of Art Nouveau with classic national themes. In addition to commercial art, jewelry design, interior decoration, sculpture and stage design, Mucha experimented with lettering and calligraphy to produce excellent source material for unique typefaces. Mucha's style is virtually synonymous with French Art Nouveau and he is one of the most imitated artists and designers of all time.
