Biography from AskART:
| Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
The following information accompanied a vintage print by this artist and was submitted in August of 2006 by Joyce Kelley: Leonetto Cappiello started his career working as a caricaturist and after 1900 he devoted himself to painting and advertising poster design. He was an innovator of advertising poster techniques, often painting the figures on a monochrome background, achieving an impressive aesthetic effect in combination with vividly colored graphics. As a painter he decorated many halls of the Galeries Lafayette in Paris. In 1922 he took part in the Biennale of Venice and in the Exposition des Arts Decoratives in Paris in 1939.
