Mucha Job Cigarette Papers 0000-0087

In both of Mucha's posters for Job cigarette papers - this is the second; the first was done in 1896 - he gives us women sensually involved in the act of smoking. Here, the figure is full-length, her abandoned hair an echo of the pale fabric volumes of her gown. As she watches the lazy waft of smoke, even her toes curl deliciously in pleasure. The artist's meticulous craftsmanship can be seen in such details as the gown's clasp (of Mucha's own design), and in the way he worked the product name into the background pattern. Mucha prepared still another preliminary design for the cigarette company, which apparently was never printed. We assume the two originals had such popular appeal that a third version was simply deemed unnecessary. Art Prints are printed on heavy matte finish German art paper using the finest Canon archival inks. Quality Frame with a single white matboard and Acrylic glazing.
