“Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau,” is on view at the Appleton Museum of Art Nov. 6, 2021-Jan. 9, 2022.
Culled from the Dhawan Collection, Los Angeles, CA, one of the finest private collections of Mucha’s work in the United States, the exhibition presents 75 works by Mucha, who is most often remembered for the prominent role he played in shaping the aesthetics of French Art Nouveau at the turn of the 20th century.
Included in the exhibition are rare original lithographs and proofs, an oil painting, drawings, a pastel, and books, posters, portfolios and ephemera. The exhibition is curated by esteemed art historian, Gabriel Weisberg, Professor of Art History, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, who has provided an essay for the exhibition catalogue. Weisberg writes, “In 1900, when the widely distributed French periodical Art et Décoration published a long and exhaustive article on the work of Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939), the Czechoslovakian artist was at the pinnacle of his creative powers. Varied, expressive, and seductive, his works were given the name “the Mucha style”; later the style was identified as “Art Nouveau.”
Mucha’s successes in many fields of creativity are revealed in the exhibition, dedicated to the broad range of his work. Organized in three sections — posters, book and journal illustrations and The Slav Epic — the exhibition focuses on the ways Mucha revitalized an interest in these media. It provides an opportunity to see how the different media, clients and objectives reflect the time period in which the artist lived and worked.
“Mucha’s ability to understand the major creative themes of the day, to use them in the most original ways possible, and to create works of art that remain seductive for future generations, is truly his great triumph,” writes Weisberg. With objects drawn from the extensive Dhawan Collection, and with the publication of this catalogue, the exhibition provides a new, original way of seeing one of the most prolific creators of fin-de-siècle imagery.
The exhibition and museum tour were organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA.

Appleton's Artist’s Outlook Online Talk "Heart of the Horse”
2021-11-18 19:00 - 20:00 | Online
Join Patricia Tomlinson, Curator of Exhibitions, and Juliet van Otteren for a free talk at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 18, on Zoom to discuss “Heart of the Horse: Photographs by Juliet van Otteren,” the artist’s work, inspirations, and more.
Meeting ID: 302 190 0088
Passcode: [REDACTED]
“Heart of the Horse: Photographs by Juliet van Otteren” is on view Oct. 9, 2021-Apr. 24, 2022. The 40 black and white photographs of horses reflect the beauty and complexity of these exquisite animals.
Internationally acclaimed photographer Juliet van Otteren’s photographs seek more than the simple documentation of beautiful horses. Rather, her black and white images strive to capture their essence, perhaps even a glimpse into their souls. By spending significant time with a limited number of equine subjects, van Otteren is able to forge an intimate connection that captures their grace, close familial relationships, playfulness, and their ancient bond with us as human beings.
Juliet van Otteren began creating photographs when she lived in various communities in the Himalayas and the Middle East. After living in the serenity of the English countryside for many years, van Otteren returned to the United States in the late 1990s and is now based in Florida. Her work is in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery in London, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, among many others. Private collections include those of Gloria Vanderbilt, William Kennedy, Isabel Allende and Stephen Hawking.
Today van Otteren continues to travel the world creating unique images. The accompanying catalog, “Heart of the Horse,” with texts by astrophysicist and author Alan Lightman and a foreword by renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, was published by Barnes & Noble in 2004. The book will be available for purchase in the Appleton Store.
