In 1926 he traveled to Argentina and set up the “Affiches Mauzan” (Mauzan Posters) publishing house where many of his greatest works were created and where he worked until 1932. In 1924 in Milan he established with Morzenti his own publishing house, the Mauzan-Morzenti Agency. Later, from 1919 to 1923 he worked at the Magical press (Giovanni Magagnoli). He made several important posters for the Italian film industry in Turin, and then went to work at Ricordi music publishing from 1912 to 1917. During his career as a poster printer and designer, Mauzan designed over 2,000 posters, using a style known for humour and brilliant colours in advertisements and events in over 1,000 postcard images. He was also an illustrator of posters and postcards.
Between 19, the period between the wars, he used forms and materials under the influence of the avant-garde cubists. He was known as a decorative illustrator designing during the Art Deco movement, though he also painted and sculpted. After a period of study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France, Mauzan divided his life between Milan, Paris and Buenos Aires. Art is a notoriously gray area when it comes objectively. These principles are possibly the closest thing we have to a set of objective criteria for analyzing and judging art. It has been archived since it was produced and shows no aging, no foxing, no tearing and no wear.Īchille Lucien Mauzan (Gap, 1883 – Gap, 1952) was born on the French Riviera, but moved to Italy in 1905. The principles of art (or the principles of design) are essentially a set of criteria which are used to explain how the visual elements are arranged in a work of art. This maquette measures 5.75 x 7.5 inches, and is on thin white tracing paper. Maquette s are often fascinating works in their own right, conveying the immediacy of the artist's first realisation of an idea. This maquette is tipped on to a cardboard bearing the Mauzan Morzenti studio stamp. A maquette is model for a larger piece of sculpture, created in order to visualise how it might look and to work out approaches and materials for how it might be made. I just listed the companion maquette - also for Cinzanino which is precisely the same size but which does not bear the Mauzan Morzenti stamp.
To the best of my knowledge and research, this poster was never produced, making this drawing/maquette a rare and unusual piece. It is classically Mauzan - humorous, colorful, and, at least to me, unforgettable. This Mauzan drawing was purchased in Italy from a collector who was fortunate enough to buy the archives of Mauzan and his design partner Morzenti. So, while a poster is wonderful (and I sell many) a maquette, to me, is even better because it is the idea and design behind the poster. It is a one-of-a-kind piece by definition - it is the original artwork for a poster.
Maquettes by sculptors in the WAA Sculpture Walk 2018 will be on display, as well as a few additional special guests.Information: For more details, please call 5Ībout The Poster: First, a definition of terms: a maquette is the original design from which a poster is made. The Washington Art Association & Gallery is pleased to present these “ideas” as a means of discovering an artist’s creative process. Often, the artist will use many different styles and types of “studies” which evolve into something quite different from the original “sketch.” This exhibition does not necessarily represent a miniature replica of the fully realized sculptures in the WAA Sculpture Walk 2018, but in turn conveys how creativity germinates and structural challenges may be resolved.
