Luciano Achille / for MAGA Mauzan

Mauzan produced well over 2,000 posters during the course of his long, prodigious career. Born in France, Mauzan would begin his life as an illustrator in Italy in 1909, working for Ricordi and other top notch printing firms. He remained there until 1927 when he and his wife were invited to Buenos Aires. There he continued a frantic pace of poster production, doing most of his best. In 1933, the Mauzans returned to France, where he would continue his work the rest of his days. His boundless imagination is a landscape of ingenious concepts and incongruous associations working in harmony. He lays on color freely, but what marks his designs as unique is his sense of humor, by turns witty, grotesque, mad, pungent, charming and openly affectionate.
