Achille Mauzan

After a period of study in the École des Beaux-Arts at Lyon, France, Mauzan divided his life between Milan, Paris and Buenos Aires.

Between the years 1920 and 1940, the period between the wars, he used forms and materials under the influence of the avant-garde cubists.

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.

Within those years, Gino Boccasile, one of his students in Milan, travelled to Argentina at his insistence and set up a studio.
