"The main body of Mossa's public and private art work was created with
water colours and strong ink lines, the subjects including caricatures,
Carnival or medieval scenes, portraits and landscapes, with a
fascination for the French Riveria in particular.
He also created wooden reliefs, designed theater scenery, wrote literary essays
and created book illustrations, including a large series of drawings for the work of Robert Schumann.
In 1902 he began collaborating with his father on the Nice Carnival
project, designing floats and posters. Both father and son are still
celebrated for raising the Carnival's prestige, and the event continues
to be a major, large scale tourism attraction in Nice." - quote source
