Alphonse Mucha "Job" 1896 Original Lithograph Poster
💨 The supple hair blends with the smoke, the pinnacle of decorative art──
"JOB" is a masterpiece created in 1896 by Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha.
Created as an advertisement for the cigarette paper brand "JOB," this poster is known today as one of Mucha's most iconic works.
The figure of the woman leaning back in a chair smoking a cigarette exudes decadence and sensuality, yet the composition is extremely sophisticated, and the eye is naturally drawn to the center of the painting.
In particular, the flowing curves of the hair, the mosaic-like decorative frame that covers the entire screen, the geometric patterns in the background, and the lavish use of gold paint all stand out, and this is why the work is called a masterpiece of poster art.
This work is one of Mucha's early masterpieces, in which he went beyond the boundaries of so-called "commercial art" and elevated the poster to the level of pure art.
The gold ink used in the hair and lettering reflects light and shines in various ways, a visual effect that is even more apparent in person.
