 At
the turn of the 19
th century, the artist Alphonse Mucha was at the
height of his career. A fine artist, whose name is now synonymous with the art
nouveau style, the Czech Mucha came from an illustration background and became
widely and commercially well-known through his advertisements for everything
from chocolate to cigarettes to laundry detergent.

 Living
in Paris, Mucha was also celebrated for his idealized female figures that were
often based on Parisian film stars and glitterati, and his work included his
years studying, drawing, and painting film actress and icon, Sarah Bernhardt.
His portraits of her were printed as large-scale posters heralding his
commercial work which took advantage of new advances in printing.

 In
1887, the invention of celluloid film paved the way for Mucha to become the
first artist to work directly from photography. Thusly, his color palette was
often the rich, warm, pastel tones of photographs and he used these hues to
create Mucha women with flowing hair that matched the flourish of his gorgeous
lettering and typefaces.

 Within
this range of color emerges a signature
eau de nil blue that Mucha used
to clothe the women in lush drapery, illuminate the skies behind them, give
them wings and surround them with waves of water.

 The newest addition to the core range of Esterbook Estie’s celebrates the
innovation of Mucha’s work and his particular shades of blue, blended into a
material that reflects the celluloid of pen making past.

 Introducing
Nouveau Bleu, the latest
offering that
joins our other classic colors as a permanent part of the Estie lineup.
