SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The Roman caricaturist Cesare Annibale Musacchio (1882–1956) built his career between Europe and South America. After completing school, he travelled through Buenos Aires before settling in Valparaíso, where he worked for Los Sucesos and drew Chilean public figures. From 1908 Paris became another centre of activity: for L’Assiette au beurre he addressed subjects including “bertillonnades” and the “European concert”. Caricature portraits and commentary on current affairs thus shaped his press work. A war correspondent for Giornale d’Italia from 1915 to 1918, he subsequently became its artistic director before taking up the same role at L’illustrazione. His appearances at the Paris Salon des humoristes in 1931 and 1933 extended the French visibility of a practice centred on satirical drawing.
