The
essential "Cappiello" book. A gorgeous insight into the world of Cappiello,
extensively researched and beautifully illustrated" Greg Yaneff
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.
