| Leonetto Cappiello ( 1875 - 1942)
was an Italian poster art designer who lived in Paris. He is
now often called 'the father of modern advertising' because
of his innovation in poster design. The early advertising poster
was characterized by a painterly quality as evidenced by early
poster artists Jules Chéret, Alfred Choubrac and Hugo
D'Alesi. Cappiello, like other young artists, worked in way
that was almost the opposite of his predecessors. He was the
first poster artist to use bold figures popping out of black
backgrounds, a startling contrast to the posters early norm. |
