While living in his studio on Sixth Avenue and West Fourth Street in 1931, he studied at the Art Students League with Harry Wickey. In 1932, he studied at Grand Central Art School and made his first trip to study in Italy. After meeting Joseph Stella in 1937, Stella introduced him to the silverpoint medium which he perfected throughout his life. 1939 saw the completion of Mr. Mosca's first paintings of New York City bridges and subways. He received the California Palace Legion of Honor Medal and Took part in Metropolitan Museum of Artexhibition "Portrait of America" during the mid-1940s. His first solo exhibit was at Salpeter Gallery in New York City, where he showed annually from 1959 through 1969 and 1961 marked a one man show at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York.

August Mosca found his inspiration in the Florentine and Northern Italian schools of the Renaissance which he studied on many trips to Italy. He learned that drawing is the most important part of painting, bringing this knowledge back to the emerging modernism being explored in New York City. Joseph Stella made a lasting impression on the young August Mosca. Stella encouraged him to paint the city in a form which would reflect himself. Drawing the bridges of New York, Mosca said "After many attempts to capture the fright this bridge inspired in me, I eventually arrived at this mood of translucent tranquility and awesome quietude as I looked long at the criss-crosses, struts, and stresses". Throughout his career, Mosca maintained a close connection to portraying the human figure. He strived to develop a personal understanding of the nature of the model and the medium in which he was working. His backgrounds are unobtrusive while his figures are a solid, individual presence.
