Volume 11 Le Pater Alphonse M Mucha Painting Photo Essay series Le Pater is an illustrated edition of The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) created by Mucha. Published in Paris on 20th December 1899. This limited book was his first step as an artist-philosopher. Its intent was to provide a pathway for man to reach for the divine ideal and in doing, achieve the highest level as a Spiritual Being, in tune with God and His Universe. Mucha was able to exhibit, the books and illustrated parts of this manuscript, his manifesto so to speak, in time for the Paris International Exhibition of 1900. This was a work, Mucha told his audience that he poured his soul into and was very proud of the final product.Le Pater came for Mucha, at a turning point in his life. Mucha was becoming dissatisfied with the unending commercials product requests. He looked for a way to elevate his body of work. About this point in his personal life Mucha had joined the secret Masonic Society, moving up in its hierarchy. Using the universal Lord’s prayer, the Our Father, he hoped to offer an illustrated version, as a better way for mankind to achieve greater state of spiritual well- being. To ask for forgiveness from the Divine Father and transcend from the state of a sinner
