Leonetto Cappiello

Leonetto Cappiello (1875-1942) was an Italian poster art designer who lived in Paris. He started as a caricaturist. He made his name during the poster boom period (c. 1900), with designs similar to those of Jules Chéret. He redesigned the fin-de-siècle pictures into images more relevant to the faster pace of the 20th century.
