A native of Moravia, Alphonse Mucha walked for a long time to fame and glory. The famous actress Sarah Bernard helped him in many ways. The audience discovered a talented artist when he was already 35 years old. Well, as they say, better late than never…
Art historians are still arguing to which stylistic direction to include the work of a Czech master. However, is this the case? The painting of the twentieth century is eclectic, it absorbed the features of almost all previous styles. And the pictures of the Fly are no exception. He could be “academic,” and he could shock a respectable audience, could stylize, and could make small discoveries. This is a feature of a great artist. The years spent in Paris, the capital of world fashion, taught Mucha a lot. In particular, he perfectly mastered the technique of decorative style, wrote a lot to order.
To tell the truth, many of his works of this period, including “Thoughtfulness”, are performed in the same style of style: in the center is a woman of pronounced Slavic appearance, who is surrounded by flowers and floral ornaments. There is no insight and implication. Just such a picture will entertain your eyes, it is pleasant to hang on the wall in the living room. By the way, the name is purely conditional: replace it with another – very little will change.
