Money, Models, & Mucha

Alphonse Mucha is one of my favorite artists. I love Art Nouveau, and Mucha stands alone in his ability to make the everyday beautiful. He liked to paint ethereal models, but I only recently found out that he also designed currency.

This is a small selection of Mucha models and the paintings he created using their images, and currency. Enjoy!
