Mucha Exhibition Paris

The exhibition of the Mucha Foundation
was the main reason we went to Paris recently.

Perhaps you're familiar with the work of Alphonse Mucha.

 One of my favourites

There was a large queue at the entrance and

people were waiting for a long time to get in.

Thankfully my friend bought our tickets online.

Art Nouveau

In the company of a good friend I visited the Art Nouveau exhibition in The Hague.

I just love to be surrounded with beauty and it was certainly worth the visit!!!
Below some of my favourite objects...

Jurriaan Kok - sugar bowl and Mocca pot (1902) painted egg shell porcelain

Theo Nieuwenhuis - clover and clover with roots (ca. 1900) paint on paper

Chris Lebeau - pike perch study (ca. 1900) pencil and ink on paper

and another work from
