Job is a 1896 advertising poster Alphonse Mucha designed for the JOB cigarette paper company, showing a woman with a swirling mass of long hair curling around the JOB lettering, a composition often cited as the fullest early statement of Mucha's decorative style: flattened space, sinuous whiplash line, and a stylized female figure integrated with lettering and ornament into one continuous decorative surface. It remains one of the most widely reproduced images of commercial Art Nouveau graphic design.
