Alphonse Maria Mucha, відомий як Alphonse Mucha, народився 24 липня 1860 року в невеликому містечку Іванчіце, у південній Моравії, тодішньої частини Австрійської імперії (зараз частина Чехії). Його родина мала скромні доходи; батько, Андрей Муха, був канцеляристом при дворі, а мати, Маліне, була власницею млина. Він був найстаршим із шести дітей, і всі вони мали імена, що починалися на "А". З дитинства він проявляв талант до малювання; місцевий торговець вражений його роботами подарував йому папір – тоді це було рідкісне та дороге удовольствие.
Муха мав музичний талант: він був сопрано і віолончеліст. Після закінчення гімназії, він прагнув продовжити навчання, але його родина не могла собі цього дозволити, оскільки вже фінансувала освіту своїх трьох старших братів та сестер. Його вчитель музики відправив його до Павла Кріжковського, видатного чеського композитора та педагога.
У Парижі, де він оселився у 1887 році, Муха швидко здобув визнання як талановитий графік. Його стиль, який згодом став відомий як “Стиль Мухи”, характеризувався плавними лініями, органічними формами та відчуттям руху. Він був під впливом таких художників, як П’єр-Огюст Ренуар і Журсть Море, а також чеського мистецтва та символізму. Його роботи часто зображували ідеалізованих жінок у струмових шатах, оточених розкішними квітами – це була типова риса його творчості.
Особливо важливим моментом у його кар’єрі стала співпраця з актрисою Сарою Бернард. У 1894 році він створив плакат для її вистави “Джимонда”, який став сенсацією та заклав основу для його успіху. Потім Муха розробив постери для кількох інших вистав Бернард, а також дизайн декорацій і костюмів. Він також працював над рекламою, дизайном ювелірних виробів, килимів та театральних декорацій.
У 1900 році на Універсальній виставці в Парижі його стиль Art Nouveau отримав міжнародне визнання. Він прикрасив павільйони Боснії і Герцеговини та співпрацював над павільйоном Австрії. Він також створив серію великих історичних картин, відомих як “Слов’янська епопея”, за підтримки Чарлза Річарда Кріна – це стало важливим внеском у популяризацію чеського мистецтва та культури.
Співпраця з Сарою Бернард стала початком кар’єри Мухи. Її плакат для вистави “Джимонда” (1894) одразу ж привернув увагу публіки та заклав основу для його успіху. Потім він створив серію плакатів для інших вистав Бернард, які стали візуальними символами епохи. Пізніше, у 1912-1930 роках, Муха працював над “Слов’янською епопеєю” – масштабним циклом з 20 картин, що зображують історію слов'янських народів. Цей проект став найважливішим у його творчості та продемонстрував його глибоке розуміння історії та культури Східної Європи.
У 1906 році Муха одружився з Марускою Чтилівою. У 1910 році вони переїхали до США, де народилася їхня дочка Ярослава. Після повернення до Чехословакії у 1922 році він працював над проектами для нового незалежного уряду, включаючи дизайн печаток, банкнот та державних документів. Муха помер 14 липня 1939 року в Празі, Чехословакія. Його творчість продовжує надихати художників і дизайнерів у всьому світі.
