Many important cultural events will take place in EU member states to accompany the Czech presidency of the EU in 2009. Among the most remarkable of them will be an exhibition of the very best of the lifetime work of Alphonse Mucha at the Museum of Fine Arts during the Budapest Spring Festival. The exhibition, prepared by curators Marta Sylvestrová of the Moravian Gallery in Brno and Petr Štembera of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, will introduce and analyze the best of the posters, paintings, drawings and photographs from the artist’s Parisian, American and Czech periods and will highlight the inspiration and creativity Mucha found in the motif of women in much of his art.
