YMMV / Alphonse Mucha

  • Theiss Titillation Theory: Many of the women in Mucha’s posters seem to be half-way to falling out of the loose robes or gowns which they are wearing, but they are never fully nude, although there may be the very occasional glimpse of nipple.
  • Values Dissonance: A mild but recurrent case. Mucha’s posters are sometimes purely decorative, and were occasionally created to promote theatrical productions, but sometimes, they were advertisements for other events or products, and modern viewers may be bemused to realise that a portrait of an attractive, ethereal woman was intended to sell beer, bicycles, or cigarettes.
