Maurice Pouzet (born in Laval in 1921 and died in Angers in 1997) is a French sculptor and illustrator .
Pouzet trained at the Angers School of Fine Arts where he took courses in decoration and sculpture; however, he branched off into commerce, graduating in 1939 from the Angers business school.
In 1942, he began a career as an illustrator within the team of Éditions Jacques Petit, among others.
This material in turn led him to metal engraving, and in particular to orders for medals for the “Monnaie de Paris ”.
His work is therefore defined above all by this variety of related supports: he continued this research towards the end of his life in the work of cartoons, "patterns" of tapestries.
