Artist Achille Mauzan was a master of the
clever, zany, and intriguingly positioned image. Greatly influenced
by Leonetto Cappiello, his art reflects a dazzling twist on the
Art Deco style. Featuring over 500 of his works, The Posters
of Mauzan is a tribute to his life and body of work.
The book begins with an insightful biography
of the great artist, written by one of the people who knew him best,
his daughter, Mirande Carnévalé-Mauzan. She provides intimate details
of her father's work, life, and family that help explain and enliven
his posters. This is followed by hundreds of full-color illustrations,
beginning with the artist's work publicizing silent films. Lastly,
the reader is treated to both the original artwork on which Mauzan's
posters were based and additional artwork that was left unpublished.
Text is in English; annotations are in French.

Carnévalé-Mauzan is the only daughter of poster designer
Achille Mauzan. She dedicated herself to collecting and studying
his art. The vast collection of Mauzan posters found here was assembled
by Ms. Carnévalé-Mauzan and her husband, Marino Carnévalé.
