MUCHA: Master Artist of Art Nouveau Figure 6: Alphonse Mucha, Illustration from Clio, 1900; Collection from Patrick M. Rowe. Mucha’s inclusion of organic forms is a feature that stems both from the art of Japan and the Rococo style. Alexis Leader.“I am appreciative to Dr. Rowe for making this exhibition possible.” In 1998, Dr. Rowe started taking a keen interest in 19th and early 20th century printmaking and began collecting original prints by Alphonse Mucha. “MUCHA: Master Artist of Art Nouveau” was organized by PMA in collaboration with the Tampa Museum of Art, Boca Raton Museum of Art, and Collection of Jack Rennert, New York.
