Current news Headline: Meet World’s First LGBTQ Mariachi
Alphonse Mucha: Czech painter and illustrator. Had a great singing ability but pursued art.
The visual elements within the designer’s work is super intricate and lots of curvature. Apart and defined to have embodied the Art Nouveau period. His distinct look was highly feminine and colors were often soft palettes. Best known for stylized theatrical posters of Sarah Bernhardt.
Relevant themes of Mucha was mostly commercial art and posters, often depicting females. Women in lavish backgrounds with usually their hair in intricate curves and arabesques. Mucha was heavily involved with theater, music, and the arts in general.
Connections made with news headline and designer is how the Mariachi is a type of music that is also very colorful like Mucha’s works. The decorative uniforms and clothing that a usual Mariachi band wears could be connected to the intricate line work of Mucha. Also conceptually Mucha’s inclination to music seems to line up with the music of Mariachi.
