Alphonse (Alfons) Mucha (1860 – 1939) was a Czech painter and decorative artist born in 1860 born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia. He is best known for his luxurious poster and product designs, which encapsulate the Art Nouveau style. Contemporary interest in his work was revived in 1980 after an exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. For biographical notes on Mucha see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1 - 7 also.

The project was later cancelled but not before Mucha had created this painting. Mucha called the subject Virgo Purissima and surrounded the heavenly vision of the Madonna with a mass of lilies, symbol of purity. Another design for a stained glass window also intended for this project resulted in the 1908 painting ‘Harmony’ 1905 Madonna of the Lilies oil on canvas 24.7 x 18.2 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Madonna of the Lilies study © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Madonna of the Lilies crayon study © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Madonna of the Lilies photographic study c1900 © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Madonna of the Lilies study 1903 © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Mucha with Madonna of the Lilies © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Mucha’s Figures Decoratives Published in by Librairie Centrale des Beaux-Arts, Paris: Figures Decoratives © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris Figures Decoratives © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris Figures Decoratives © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris Figures Decoratives © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Native American Woman with Flowers and Feathers pencil, watercolour and tempera on cardboard 63 x 48 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1905 Portrait of Marushka, the artist's wife gouache on board 50.7 x 32.1 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1906 Portrait Of Milada Cerny oil on canvas 91.4 x 127 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate-Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York-ADAGP, Paris 1906 The Beatitudes Illuminations in colour by Alphonse Mucha.

ALEXANDER PHIMSTER PROCTOR American, 1860-1950 "Princeton Tiger" (1910) Dark-brown and autumnal patinated bronze | signed in cast "AP PROCTOR 1912", "GORHAM CO FOUNDERS 0454 7" with copyright symbol captured from underlying mold, "79" and "PRINCETON TIGER" to raised edge | cast circa 1912 | formerly with Graham Gallery of New York (label affixed to underside) Item # 402KMP14C A very early casting from Alexander Phimster Proctor of his "Princeton Tiger". Modeled in 1908-1910, the original monumental pair of these were cast in 1910 and presented to Princeton University Art Museum by the class of 1879 (hence the '79 incised on the front raised edge). They were subsequently cast by Gorham starting in 1912 in two dimensions - 22 3/16" in total width and 9" in total width. The present example is the latter dimension and is cold-stamped "7", noting its very early production. It is finished in a nearly black overall patination that was relieved to show autumnal hues throughout, the tones together emphasizing the surface texture that is captured directly from the early mold. Note the extraordinary surface nuance and exquisite detail. The underside retains a label from Graham Gallery and shows remnants of the core material loosely moving within the void.
