Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line
The Phillips Collection presents the exhibition Timeless Mucha: The Magic of Line from February 22 - May 18. Timeless Mucha surveys Czech painter and decorative artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), exploring his revolutionary contributions to graphic design and the enduring influence of his signature style.
Featuring over 100 works from the Mucha Trust Collection, the exhibition traces Mucha’s artistic evolution—from his early training to his rise as a leading figure in the Art Nouveau movement—highlighting his intricate linework, flowing forms, and highly stylized designs that transformed poster art, commercial illustration, and visual aesthetics worldwide. In the 1960s, Mucha’s distinctive style was revived in the vibrant poster art of the counterculture movement, becoming a hallmark of psychedelic rock posters, album covers, comic books, and Japanese manga.
Enjoy a Spotlight Talk with a Phillips Educator about the exhibition, daily at 1 pm, from March 1-May 18. Included with general admission, no reservation required. (Included with general admission; free for members of the Phillips Collection)
