Mucha must have loved peacocks! Or he lived nearby a peacock farm. Or it's an art-nouveau style thing. Or maybe it's a secret code (like the freemasons).
Rob, just out of curiosity, I checked to see if Mucha was a freemason. I did not know that he was the person responsible for restoring Czech Freemasonry.
I love to read your remarks and suggestions. I don't mind if you comment anonymously, but I severely dislike anonymous comments with an included link (these will be deleted).
Love the creativity of the peacock feather motif.
ReplyDeleteNext time I see a real peacock I will take a closer look to spot the simularities...

ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to start examining your Mucha postings more closely now.
