FD 29-3

14" x 20" 1966

 

The beautiful, sensuous work of turn-of-the-century Alphonse Mucha, who I think was a Czech artist of immense talent and ability, and who lived and worked in Paris was very popular with the hippies. They rediscovered him, if you will, and reproductions of his gorgeous work were springing up everywhere.

Though the girl has a real Lautrec feel about her, she is a direct ripoff of one of Mucha's famous female images, an original advertisement for JOB cigarette rolling papers. Stanley rendered her in flat, bright colors...in good ol' psychedelic fashion.

 

This is a poor reproduction of a beautiful poster in perfect condition.
