About the Artist & This Artwork:
Leonetto Cappiello (1875-1942) was a revolutionary Italian poster artist who worked primarily in Paris. He is famously known as the “father of modern advertising” for breaking away from the detailed Art Nouveau style. Instead, Cappiello pioneered the use of a single, bold, often humorous character against a dark background, creating an immediate and unforgettable visual impact that could be understood at a glance.
The “Cachou Lajaunie” poster (1901) is a seminal piece from his early career. It showcases his genius for creating a compelling narrative. The poster features an elegant, mischievous woman in a stunning green dress, winking as she holds a packet of the breath-freshening cachou lozenges. It’s playful, sophisticated, and brilliantly communicates the product’s benefit. This piece was pivotal in establishing his reputation and remains one of his most recognizable and beloved works.
