Alphonse Mucha
Born in 1860 in a small Czech town, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist on the forefront of Art Nouveau, the modernist movement that swept Paris in the 1910s, marking a return to the simplicity of natural forms, and changing the world of art and design forever. In fact, Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the “Mucha style” for the legions of imitators who adapted the master’s celebrated tableaux. Today, his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone, inspiring album covers, comic books, and everything in between. Patrick Bade and Victoria Charles offer readers an inspiring survey of Mucha’s career, illustrated with over one hundred lustrous images, from early Parisian advertisements and posters for Sandra Bernhardt, to the famous historical murals painted just before his death, at the age of 78, in 1939.

His use of colour and pattern was profoundly influenced by the art of Japan, ancient Egypt, and Byzantium. Ravenne, the flat, two-dimensional perspective of his paintings, and the frequently...
Lempicka
The smoothly metallic portraits, nudes and still-lifes of Tamara de Lempicka which are reproduced in this volume encapsulate the spirit of Art Deco and The Jazz Age and reflect the elegant and hedonistic life-style of the privileged elite in Paris between the wars.
Music Wars 1937-1945
Music played an unprecedented role in World War II. Whether live or through the media of radio, film and gramophone records, it was used by all sides for propaganda and morale-boosting. The mightiest musical weapon of the war was Swing, an irresistible force that even the Nazis attempted to harness. Ultimately the music that most potently evokes the emotions and experiences of the war is that of the sentimental songs of loss and separation-Vera Lynn singing `We'll meet again' and Zarah Leander singing `Ich weiss es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen'.
Michael Leonard
Patrick Bade's intimate yet comprehensive study of all the stages of Michael Leonard's career reveals his artistic development in all its variety.
