Mucha’s advertisement for JOB cigarette rolling papers — a woman’s hair dissolving into smoke against a halo of pattern. One of Mucha’s most reproduced commercial works, and the piece that cemented "Le Style Mucha" as a language advertisers, not just theaters, would pay for. The smoke and the hair are drawn as the same continuous line — advertisement as ornament. A vice, made to look like a vision.
