He is known for his black humor anti-war cartoons: Who is Jean Maurice Bosc?

(1924-1973) French cartoonist. He is known for his anti-war cartoons in the black humor genre. He was born on 30 December 1924 in Nîmes. After graduating from Nîmes Technical College, he worked as a vineyardist with his father. In 1944 he was drafted into the army and sent to Indochina. When he returned to Nîmes in 1948, he was under the influence of his military life. He started drawing caricatures in 1952 and his works were published continuously in Paris Match, Punch, and France-Dimanche magazines. In 1955, he published his first cartoon book, Gloria Victoria. He won the Emile Cohl Prize at the 1959 Venice Biennale for his short cartoon Le Voyage en Boscanie (“Journey to the Land of Bosc”). Due to his deteriorating health, he began to live in the Antib Islands. He took his own life in May 1973.

The military period in Indochina brought Bosc a rather pessimistic view of life, as well as a determined anti-war attitude in his art. Although he received the "Croix du Guerre" medal during his military service, he was accused of insulting the army because of the cartoons he drew during the Algerian War. In his cartoons, he ruthlessly mocks militarism, and he criticizes the "ordinary citizen" who remains indifferent or indifferent to this phenomenon with bitter satire. He was most influenced by the French cartoonist Chaval, he considers himself his apprentice.
