Leonetto Cappiello is known as the Father
of the Modern Poster. Combining Chéret's joyful exuberance, Toulouse-Lautrec's
technique of simplified lines and flat colors, and his own background
as a caricaturist, he had an original approach to using posters
as eye-catching advertising tools. Cappiello's engaging posters
shock, surprise, and move today's viewers as much as they did his
contemporaries. As a result, his posters are still among the world's
most popular.
This is the largest, most authoritative collection
of Cappiello's work ever presented. Many of the 534 full-color poster
illustrations have never been seen before. Detailed appraisals and
annotations, as well as biographical information and insights into
Cappiello's graphic methods, accompany each poster. Also included
are fifty additional color pictures that demonstrate the many other
outlets of Cappiello's talents--book and magazine illustrations,
paintings, maquettes, and postcards. Particularly notable are his
superb early caricatures. Today, more homes are decorated with Cappiello's
posters than any other single poster artist in the world. Cappiello
will show you why his posters remain so celebrated.
