Book very damaged, corner crumpled and twisted,very unacceptable for a "new" book paid full price + shipping + taxbecause very bad packaging by amazondo not order this book from amazon

Es verdaderamente una galería muy completa del trabajo de Mucha, no me incómoda que gran parte del libro este en otro idioma, ya que lo empleo para analizar su trabajo y composición.

gehört zu meinen Top5-Lieblingsbücher im Bereich Kunst. Super für Inspirationen. Text ist teilweise auf Englisch übersetzt, ansonsten auf Chinesisch, aber mir ging es um die Abbildungen.

Libro stupendo (per questo ho messo 5 stelle) ma la maggior parte delle spiegazioni è in giapponese, solo una minima parte è tradotto in inglese, ma nonostante ció nulla da dire, il problema si presenta quando mi arriva il pacco, APERTO, con la copertina danneggiata sugli angoli del libro.

The title pretty much says it all. While no book has all of Mucha's works, and you will have to buy multiple Mucha books to get close to the breadth of his catalogue; if you can only buy one, this book is it. Hands down.It covers his most familiar and iconic works of course. But what is most impressive is everything else. Whether it be postcard collections; his decorative patterns; magazine covers; bank notes; stamps; package design; book illustrations and especially a lot more of his underrepresented and underappreciated realist works. Unfortunately, his work in architecture gets only a brief mention, and his work in jewelry design and sculpture is ignored. But considering that he only dabbled in such things in comparison to his other works, as well as the sheer amount of content overall, this oversight is quite forgivable. Some pictures get a really good treatment in terms of size and occupation of page space. Some pages have collections of smaller pictures that I wish were a bit larger. But considering that this book is pushing almost 400 pages, and most Mucha art books are in the 200 pages or less range, I think they clearly did the best they could in terms of trying to squeeze in as many pieces as possible from Mucha's illustrious career.The cover is a magnificent foil-embossed dust jacket; and the pages have an overall nice feel to them as well.The book, is unfortunately only semi-bilingual; most of the text is in Japanese. But honestly, if you want more detailed textual information about his life and works, there are plenty of other Mucha books for that. If you just simply want one of the most comprehensive visual compendiums of Mucha's work. Period. This is it.
