Achille Lucien Mauzan

Achille Lucien Mauzan was a renowned French artist, notably recognized for his influential work as a decorative illustrator during the Art Deco movement. Born on the French Riviera, Mauzan moved to Italy in 1905 and later divided his time between Milan, Paris, and Buenos Aires. He was not only an illustrator but also dabbled in painting and sculpting. His education at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France, set the stage for his vibrant career.

Mauzan's work is particularly distinguished by its humor and use of brilliant colors. He produced over 2,000 posters and more than 1,000 postcard images, marking a significant contribution to advertisement and event promotion during his era. His posters, especially for the Italian film industry and later for the music publishing company Ricordi, showcase a unique blend of artistic flair and commercial appeal. In 1924, Mauzan co-founded the Mauzan-Morzenti Agency in Milan, further cementing his role in the field of advertising art.

His time in Argentina, from 1926 to 1932, was particularly fruitful. He established the "Affiches Mauzan" publishing house, where many of his most acclaimed works were created. Mauzan's influence extended beyond commercial art, as he also designed several war posters, including an adaptation of the famous Lord Kitchener poster.

Mauzan's legacy in poster art, particularly in Argentina, was profound, and his reputation in the field remains substantial to this day. His works are a testament to the vibrant and dynamic nature of early 20th-century commercial art, bridging humor, vivid imagery, and artistic elegance​​​.
