I’m a blade man myself, but this might be cutting it a little too close for my blood. Literally! Though better known for their automotive prowess, the Peugeot brothers show that their razor blades are monumentally sharp. An effective warning for their competitors, but as a consumer, it seems like one little slip-up could become a rather amputating experience. Mauzan produced well over a thousand posters during the course of his long, prodigious career. Born in France, Mauzan would begin his life as an illustrator in Italy in 1909, working for Ricordi and other topnotch printing firms. He remained there until 1927, when he and his wife were invited to Buenos Aires. There he continued a frantic pace of poster production until 1933, when the Mauzans returned to France, where he would continue his work for the rest of his days. His boundless imagination is a landscape of ingenious concepts and incongruous associations working in harmony. He lays on color freely, but what marks his designs as unique is his sense of humor, by turns witty, grotesque, mad, pungent, charming and openly affectionate. Rare!
