AGUSTIN FERNANDEZ
Mixed Media
While Fernandez is a consummate printmaker, many of his prints exist in sculptured variants - where the raw surface of the image serves for a background and carries object-derived additions. The ornamentation, however, is never arbitrary. It's components are closely related to the content of the printed imagery.
His work is in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Havana.

JOANNE SELTZER
Prints
Joanne Seltzer was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Charleston, West Virginia. Ms. Seltzer's works are realistic constructions which are sometimes serial in nature. These collages and photomontages are influenced by the artist's childhood; therefore , they are somewhat nostalgic, but are not sentimentalized. Each image has a dose of hard reality: for example a depiction of the young artist dancing is superimposed upon the checks her father wrote for her lessons.

Alphonso Mucha
Prints
Alphonse Mucha’s romantic posters and paintings epitomize the Art Nouveau movement that swept through Europe and North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With a palette of subdued pastels, the artist depicted beautiful women posed against sensuous, botanical backdrops. In keeping with dominant Art Nouveau aesthetics, his compositions feature florid lines, decorative elements, and natural forms. Mucha first found success as a commercial artist in 1894, when he designed a poster for a play featuring Sarah Bernhardt, the leading actress of the day. After that, he was consistently commissioned to create posters, paintings, theater set designs, costumes, jewelry, textiles, sculptures, and furniture. During his lifetime, Mucha exhibited in Paris, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, London, New York and other major cities; since his death, he has been featured in shows at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Jewish Museum, the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, and the Kunsthalle Rotterdam. On the secondary market, Mucha’s work has sold for seven figures.
