where it flourished. The exhibition was on view at the Gallery October 8, 2000, through January 28, 2001.
The web exhibit includes an Art Nouveau timeline, and an audio tour of some of the items on show.

Alphonse Mucha's artwork has become synonymous with art nouveau's most recognizable features: organic curving forms,
female subjects, lavish ornamentation and exotic use of color. Though Mucha did not invent the style,
it was through his work that the European exponent of the style found its most visable manifestation.
A comprehensive cross section of works loaned by the Mucha Foundation including lithographs,
paintings, drawings, pastels, statues, photographs and personal memorabilia.
