This is a poster for JOB cigarette papers by Alphonse Mucha. I really like this style of artwork for many reasons: The artwork pops and has very unique line quality. I think that the line quality says a lot about the artist and is something that can really help someone stand out. The lines are smooth and think on the out most sides of the figure, yet the inner details are thin and precise. I also like the way the text is integrated behind the woman along with the smoke and the border patterns. This style is very prominent throughout Mucha's other work. Another thing about it that caught my eye is the use of the color, its not too flashy and bright but it has something to it that screams "look at me."

This piece reminds me a lot of the Italian, French, and Spanish Wine/alcohol Posters by Leonetto Capiello. My uncle used to have a few posters by him (and others done in the same style) hung in his apt. I have always been a fan of them and would love to have a few when i get my own place as well. I think artwork like this says a lot for a culture and are very interesting to look at, and can add a sense of sophistication to a room.
