Free Vintage Clip Art - Vintage Poster by Leonetto Cappiello

Vintage Poster by Leonetto Cappiello

Born in Italy in 1875 Leonetto Cappiello lived in Paris and was the first poster artist that used bold images that seemed to jump right out of a dark background.  Cappiello had no formal art training but had his first exhibit at the age of 17.  Between 1901 and 1914 he created hundreds of posters that revolutionized the art of poster design.  All in all he created more that 530 posters that are highly collectible by dealers around the world.

Here is one of his brilliant posters
