THE ILLUSTRATED POSTERS OF ACHILLE MAUZAN HD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июн 2024
- As is frequently and frustratingly the case there is only minimal biographical information about French poster artist Achille Mauzan. But as usual I'm hopeful that the sheer pleasure of viewing so many marvellously imaginative, comical and accomplished illustrations will compensate.
Please note I'm taking a holiday in a few day's time so I won't be able to reply to some comments until my return. The next upload might be a little late too. Hasta luego...
i can safely like this before watching
What GREAT PRAISE!
Thanks - I'm pleased you think it's a safe bet.
I was thinking the same thing in the first 3 seconds . . . LIKE !
How you continue to find artists/illustrators of this calibre never ceases to amaze me, but I'm immensely happy that you do. Thanks again for all your hard work Pete and keep up the good work.
To be honest it amazes me too. I thought the series would be long over by now, and here I am with a massive queue of others. Thanks as always.
I would never have known of him without you. Beautiful, whimsical, comical. Loved it all. Thank you.
his work is quite magical. a very talented artist
Thanks a lot for your appreciation of this video.
I've always been fascinated by poster art. The great thing about this channel is I am regularly introduced to artists and images that are completely new to me. So grateful for Petes research.
Thanks a lot for your comment - it's appreciated.
Every video is a pleasure. Thank you, Mr Beard!
Thanks a lot for your favourable response - it's most welcome.
Another hidden treasure. Thank you, Pete!
Hopefully now a little less hidden, I hope. Thanks a lot for your comment.
Thank you for another engaging look at a talented illustrator. Your videos should be required viewing in illustration and design schools.
Nice of you to say that - but sadly not the case, other than a couple of places I know about.
You’re a treasure on RUclips. Thank you for consistently illuminating these talents for all of us with such engaging content.
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain. Many thanks for your appreciation - it means a lot to me.
I can't tell how much of a treat these wonderful video's are. I so look forward to them. Thank you for all your hard work to bring these to us!!!
Hello, and many thanks for your enthusiastic comment about the channel. It's greatly appreciated.
Thank You, Pete, for another feast for the eyes. I especially liked his more linear drawings, but he was certainly a very diverse but consistently skilled illustrator.
Thanks as always for the comment and appreciation. And now off to Spain...
Such an wonderful poster artist with yet again the urge to renew his signature style but always with a great feeling for composition and typography. Brilliant. Thank you very much for highlighting him!
I'm pleased you enjoyed his work, and thanks as usual for your comment.
Huzzah! Thank you. I'm thankful to you for this series .
Thanks a lot for your appreciative comment. Always welcome.
I agree with you. Such an amazing talent! Thank you for sharing his incredible work with us!
Hello again and I'm glad that you - and quite a few other viewers - are impressed by Mauzan's work. Thanks for the comment.
Yes, I certainly appreciate your opinion of this illustrator/artist. We have been extremely fortunate to be entertained by him (and your sharing of his work).
Hello again and thanks. I'm glad you also appreciate his fascinating work.
A highly imaginative artist, this guy understood how to make advertising eye catching and fun at the same time.
Thanks for your comment, and appreciation of his work.
We always enjoy the colourful and imaginative advertisement posters from this era, but this artist was truly a master! Very humourous, inventive and sometimes a bit disturbing, what a treat! Thank you once again.
Thanks for another favourable comment. And his imagination seems to have not had any limits. Poster artists were creating surrealist images before the art movement even had a name, it seems.
i completely agree: one of the most memorable body of work you've shared with us as of now. thanks
Thanks a lot. He's certainly one of the most fascinating I've covered to date.
This Mauzan's work has a real elegance to its humor. Eye-catching and rule-breaking but held together by good taste. Thanks so much for your research and presentation once again!
Thanks for your positive comment and appreiation of my efforts with the channel. Talents such as Mauzan make my bit a lot easier.
Thank you Pete Beard - posters are a favorite vehicle for sentiment-/emotion/communication - these are striking!
Many thanks for your appreciation.
Again Mr Beard, an engaging and wonderfully produced insight to another classic artist from the past...so enjoy the learning and visual eye-candy. Thank You.
Many thanks for your appreciation - it's always welome.
I'm impressed with the variety of styles he possessed. If you put a stack of his work on a table, i would be hard pressed to say it was one man.
Thanks for another informative, entertaining, and inspiring video Pete 😃
Your digital museum of Illustrators just keeps growing.
Thanks as always for your comment and appreciation. I must say Mauzan is one of the most visually fascinating illustrators I've covered to date.
I'm amazed by Mauzan's visual variety! - all while staying within a well tred compositional structure. Thanks again Pete!
Thanks as always for your comment. One of the most interesting and entertaining subjects I've covered, I think.
I missed this when it first dropped, but I am always willing to catch up! Thank you, Mr Beard.
I really don't mind when viewers watch as long as they do watch. Thanks s lot
What a unique array of styles. I wonder what his process of developing ideas was like. So dreamy.
Thank you for another excellent episode.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation of my efforts and Mauzan's marvellous work.
Enjoying the art, but now also the cultural items, like food and drink. It's interesting to see many Italian and French brands are still available, if not in fashion.
Thakns for the comment, and I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
@@petebeard No, Thank you. Fine art that is preserved, is preserved because it captures something the elite value. You've (re-)captured an important part of the milieu of the rest of the population! I might admire the Mona Lisa, but your videos evoke far deeper emotional connections, even with societies that I'll never experience as they are of the past. Thank you!
Delightful! Entertaining, educating, and inspiring. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for your appreciation. I'm glad you enjoyed his work.
Wonderful, thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Those whittle orange juice characters are memorable ... his sense of humor shines through ... Thanks *Pete*
Hello and thanks a lot for the comment and stars. I dread the day I get less than 5...
@@petebeard
I really enjoy those posters, the imagery, this is so fun. Even if he was French, I've never heard or seen anything from him. This is clearly sad, for a such talent !
Thanks !!
At least a few more people now know his work. Thanks a lot.
I really enjoy your channel Pete and love seeing these illustrations and learning about the lives of these wonderful artists. Thank you for taking the time to share your passion and expertise.
Thanks a lot for your comment. Appreciation from viewers is very motivating.
How I would love to have been alive during the great Poster Era! His talent exceeds that medium with great talent and managerial prowess! Tnx!
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain. So a belated thanks for your appreciation.
Thank you for another great video. I think your narration is just as absorbing at the images you present. You have a real gift for words and your diction and pacing with the images is perfect.
Thanks a lot for your comment seems inadequate, and I really am grateful for such appreciation.
I certainly agree with you about the gift of narration that Pete Beard has blessed us with in every post ❤
New to me thanks so much for presenting him!
I'm glad to have made the introduction, and thanks for the comment.
Such depth and the richness of the colors is very amazing and captivating ❤
Thanks for sharing this beautiful artistry. Astonishing is certainly a good description ❤
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain.Many thanks for your appreciation of his work. A true genius in my book.
@@petebeard I am very glad that you had a vacation!
I don't ever expect you to reply to my comments. I appreciate your time given and the way that you have created a wonderfilled channel with such heart and expertise.
Thanks for your comment and for your continuous attention to sharing this detailed information on so many different masters of their art 🎨 😍💯✌️👌💫🫶👍
His body of work is incredible!
No argument from me on that score
Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for the video, Pete. With so mush talent, and a head for business, I am surprise Achille is not better know in France and Italy.
Thanks fir the comment. I suspect it's beccause both countries are overwhelmed with astonishing talent in the poster department, but that's just my guess.
Big part of our collective memory.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
Dang! You inspire me! In My life: I've had FIVE GREAT TEACHERS!!! And. Now I must add You in the Pantheon as the sixth Olympus instructor!!! And. Just when I thought I knew it ALL! Respectfully and Gratefully yours Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA Etats Unis
That's a remarkably flattering thing to say, and I'm very grateful for the continuing appreciation you show for my work on the channel.
I agree that we are all blessed by these postings by Mr Pete Beard❤
Astounding to think that this far in you can still come across virtually unknown artist/illustrators of this caliber… I'll be watching this one at least a few more times to absorb it all. Masterful presentation too, Pete. I thank you!
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain. Thanks again for your appreciation of my efforts with the channel. Even more astounding (to me at least) is the volume of others in varying states of progress still demanding my time and energies.
@@petebeard No worries, hope you had a relaxing time off in Spain. Did you visit any museums while you were there? Don't let the workload get you down… I know you're retired, and this is a passion project for you. Whatever you do create, I'm happy to be part of your ever-growing and appreciative audience…
Another soothing bath in human imagination. Your channel should be streaming on Netflix so calm the mind in these trying times. Thank you again, from Aotearoa.
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain. Many thanks again for another appreciative comment. So far I haven't been inundated with offes from Netflix, unfortunately.
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. I like to draw I can see how this artist was imaginative , takes a lot of practice ,but if you can make a living at it ,it’s worth it . Some people are making a living on RUclips
,I can see that ,Thank you for your efforts.y
Hello and many thanks for your comment and appreciation.
Wonderful. The amazing output of work in a time with fewer distractions.
Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.
Thank you sir. The colors of these posters are amazing. I am so thankful that I found your channel. Another great story.
Many thanks for your apprecciation of this video and of course the channel in general.
Detective chief inspector Pete uncovered another great offering..well done sir....
Now that I like. Trilby, pipe and a trenchcoat - maybe a TV series? The Illustration Detective. And now I'm off to Spain for some sun and fun.
@@petebeard...New Brighton promenade tomoz...😅😅😅
Such striking compositions, so witty, and highly effective limited palette of colours. Thank you very much for another highly educational and inspiring episode.
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain. But thanks for your comment and contiuing appreciation of the channel content.
Thanks for the trip on the time machine. I'm glad we skipped the problematic parts. Wonderful stuff as always.
Thanks for your favourable response to the video.
Mauzan's work seems lit from within. Then again, with all the free samples he would have got...
Thanks as usual for the comment and appreciation.
Спасибо, Pete! I found this video yesterday, but I was too exhausted to watch it properly. Your material is just like a good tea you just received in parcel from the Chinese comrades - it requires a certain mood. Watching it after an office wednesday is just like tasting a wine after 0.7L of vodka with friends in sauna. VERY interesting works, and I think I’ll watch this once more tomorrow.
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain. I'm very pleased you appreciate Mauzan's remarkable body of work - he deserves more attention and respect.
(18) No children??? How sad for him. Those posters were such fun; no wonder they were so popular. Shame that the art world seemed to not want to laud his work more, especially after his death. Just love your uploads, Mr. Beard. Thank you so much.
Thanks again for another positive response to a new video.
I love this guy's work. It would be interesting to how he wrote in his book considering how surreal his illustrating was. Thank you sir. I wish you the best on your holiday.
Thanks for the comment and I did indeed have a great time on holiday. I searched but couldn't find an English translation of that book, and my schoolboy French isn't up to that volume of translation.
Fascinating and very entertaining, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot.
Thannks Pete! Have a great holiday, you deserve it!
I certainly intend to. Thanks for the good wishes.
this is the stuff im talking about ! yesssir!
Thanks a lot for your favourable comment.
Brilliant works
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you appreciate Mauzan's images.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! 👏 Frank
Thanks a lot x3
Very interesting. Nice job.
My thanks as usual for your comment.
Excellent.
Many thanks as usual
Nice, was not familiar with his work at all. Thanks for another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it, and many thanks for your comment.
When all else in life fails, there is Pete Beard. I have a confession: I am interested in bricks so was looking at the bond when there was the brick background
Sorry to take so long with my reply, but I've only just got back from a break in Spain. Interesting hobby you have there, and thanks for the comment.
@@petebeard I know someone worse than me. He collects them.
Always interesting
Thanks a lot
👍Thank you. 🇬🇧🇵🇹
As always you are welcome.
For Italian pencil and pen maker Presbitero, Mauzan created their creepy "pencil hair man" brand mark. It, too, made the leap from the printed page, first as a point-of-sale piece and later a 3m high figure attached to a publicity truck.
Thanks for the comment - I missed that one, but even if I hadn't there's only a low resolution image to be had online as far as I can tell. What an inventive mind he had. Ah the days when advertising was interesting.
I was trained in medicine, and was exposed to a long line of realistic illustration of anatomy, physiology, and pathology from the best medical illustrator Dr. Frank Netter (an perhaps the titan in that regard). You haven't featured him here though. Hope you can honor this medical man who is also a great artist.
Hello and many thanks for your suggestion about Frank Netter. But unfortunately I'm convinced that the vast majority of my viewers would have very limited interest in medical illustration as a topic. It may serve an invaluable purpose in the profession but what it can't display (and shouldn't) is imagination. The same holds true for technical illustration.
@@petebeard That's unfortunate. I haven't thought of those restrictions. Thank you though for the growing amount of featured artists-illustrators you've featured here.
All right, who's been stealing the Tardis or the Waybak? That 1941 poster with the three men hoisting the Christmas tree -- was the photographer who took that iconic shot of raising the flag at Iwo Jima a couple years later familiar with Mauzan? And the Bilz orange coming unraveled near the end of your video -- just so evocative of that picture Escher did of himself and his wife!
Well, of course both might be coincidental, and it seems unlikely that the American photographer (can't remember his name) would have been aware of Mauzan as he never appeared in the USA. The Escher print is apparently 1956 so whether he knew it or not he was standing on the shoulders of an earlier giant. And Mauzan was a surrealist even before the name had been used for painting.

Time to subscribe if you haven't. Where else can you get this striking, totally original content? This is already the standard by which all others will be measured.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation, and urging of others to subscribe. I could do with a few more.
@@petebeard You should be at 1 million by now--at least. The quality of your production in total makes that a certainty.
Some of this work reminds me of Moebius.
As they say, what goes around comes around.
Ótimo
Muito obrigado
So hard to tell what those later images were done in. The have the smudgy quality of pastels, but also sort of seem like the sort of work one gets from Ebony pencils. Either way, some stunning work!
Yes I had to hazard a guess with those. It struck me later that they could even have been traditional lithography, but sources are always poor at telling us about mediums used.
How you find them, how you go about making these overviews, I will never know, but thank you, Pete. As always.
Hello again and thanks a lot for your comment. I don't know how I keep finding them either, oddly enough. I admit I started out knowing quite a few illustrators from the past, but Ive discovered so many more I now realise it was just the tip of an iceberg.
the orange infant nursing was pretty funny, and cute. but also: Weird.
Hello and pardon me if I just make the one response to the two comments. You're welcome to watch whenever it suits you. And yes, those oranges - once seen never forgotten.
Hello Mr Beard, I really like all your videos of illustrators I learn a lot with them. Did you know something about Alice Marshall?, a fairy illustrator from the 1920s, a want to know her bio 😊
Hello and thanks a lot for your question about Alice Marshall, an illustrator I was completely unaware of. But sadly a search reveals only a handful of images and even less written information. She isn't the first or the last to have been relegated to virtual disappearance over the decades, sadly. Sorry I can't be of any help.
@@petebeard thank you for your answer 😊
Serait-il possible d'avoir un sous-titre en français , Merci d'avance (Ceci dit votre voix et votre diction est vrais plaisir pour les oreilles)
Je suis désolé d'avoir mis si longtemps à répondre, j'étais en vacances en Espagne. Si vous sélectionnez « paramètres » sous n'importe quelle vidéo et choisissez « traduction automatique », vous pouvez ensuite sélectionner les sous-titres en français.
I am curious if you’ve done eugene charles paul vavasseur. I found his work by accident but am not really able to find much information about him. A wonderful artist though. ❤
Thanks a lot for your comment and question. His name was entirely new to me but a quick search reveals that Wikipedia France have a couple of paragraphs about him and there are some examples of his work to be had, but few of them are of decent resolution. So I'm afraid I can't be much help with his one, and it's yet another case of an illustrator who has all but vanished, sadly.
wait he did the Geniol guy??? thats an old school icon of Argentina.
I'll bet those heads are worth a lot these days too.
I did not...
And, I agree...
Good, on both counts. Thanks.
@@petebeard No, dear friend - thank YOU.
And happy R&R to you.
Taschen should pick up on Mauzan; or perhaps there is someone else out there with deep pockets prepared to pay for lots of black ink.
It surprises me how few of these illustrators get to have books published about them.
Always found Mauzan's work to be disturbing.
Me too, but fascinating nevertheless - or maybe because of it.
you snuck a vote fascist poster in there
...and there I was thinking I had got away with it.
Wonderful. Thank you.
Thaks again and Im glad you enjoyed it.
