Description
Poster promoting a Spanish mineral water, showing off Cappiello's virtuosity. “Combining Chéret’s joyful exuberance, Toulouse-Lautrec’s technique of simplified lines and flat colours, and his own background as a caricaturist, he had an original approach to using posters as eye-catching advertising tools. Cappiello’s [...] posters shock, surprise, and move today’s viewers as much as they did his contemporaries” (Rennert, Jack. Cappiello: The Posters of Leonetto Cappiello. New Hyde Park: Square One Publishers, 2007). Lithograph poster printed by Vercasson, linen backed, A condition. Dimensions in inches: 55 x 39.4''.
