“One of Mucha’s most endearing and enduring sets . . . Spring is a blonde<br />
sylph who seems to be fashioning a makeshift lyre out of a bent green branch<br />
and her own hair, with some birds as interested spectators. Summer, a brunette,<br />
sits dreamily on the bank of a pond, cooling her feet in the water and resting<br />
her head against a bush. Autumn is an auburn lady, making ready to partake of<br />
the ripe grape. Winter, her brown hair barely visible as she huddles in a long<br />
green cloak, snuggles by the snow-covered tree trying to warm a shivering<br />

ALPHONSE MUCHA (Continued)<br />
MUCHA COMES TO<br />
CEDAR RAPIDS<br />
As interest in the renowned master of Art Nouveau<br />
continues to expand, we are thrilled to announce that an<br />
exhibition devoted entirely to the work of Alphonse Mucha<br />
will be opening at the National Czech & Slovak Museum<br />
& Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on July 14, 2012.<br />
Alphonse Mucha: Inspirations of Art Nouveau, features<br />
paintings, jewelry, sculptures, and lithographs, all coming<br />
directly from the Mucha Foundation in Prague and London.<br />
Not since 1999 has an exhibit of this size and caliber<br />
appeared in the United States, making this a once-in-a-<br />
������������������������������������<br />
on this side of the pond.<br />
<strong>The</strong> exhibit is divided into six sections, exploring Mucha<br />
not only as the father of Art Nouveau, but also his Moravian<br />
roots, his family, his photography, and his devotion to the<br />
Slav people.<br />
