Alfons Mucha: Nationalist Art in Context

This piece controversially compares Alfons Mucha with Adolf Hitler, as the two had much more in common than is generally recognized, while also contrasting into polar opposite worldviews. It also discusses regional nationalist issues of their day, and how these two men shared similar motivations but severely divergent paths and worldviews.

Sections include:

- Introduction setting the stage for the historical context of the region at the time.
- Juxtaposing Two Painters
- Pan-Germanism, Pan-Slavicism, and Mucha’s Slav Epic
