Alphonse Mucha's design style was directly opposite of Theophile Steinlen. While Steinlen used a simplistic and bold approach, Mucha had intricate patterns in his designs, often very small and detailed. These decorative flat patterns often peppered even the backgrounds of 'empty' spaces. He also had a way of emphasizing his model Sarah Bernhardt sexuality and beauty, which appealed to the male crowd.
Starting from the top, we have Flavors 1, we see a buxom beauty posting in a provocative stance. She is holding her left breast with her right hand as if she was offering to the viewers. There is many small details and patterns strewn about in various colors but particularly red the most which is often associated with passion and love.
Next up, we have Stolen. Again, we can see the use of red again in the same context as Flavors 1. However, it is the ONLY color on this image, the rest is in monochromatic. There is many details in the image but the red helps pull the viewer back to the female in the center, being held by her 'mysterious' lover.
Coming up the last, we have The Undertaker. Again, red is the primary color used with a wide range of values across. Detail is very much apparent, which emphasizes the beauty that surrounds the female's face. The black silhouette of the flowers help to frame and contrast her light skin, helping to bringing it forward and very much the focus of the image.
