Lot 153 | Cordial Campari.
Cordial Campari.
LEONETTO CAPPIELLO (1875-1942)
Maga, Paris (Printed in Italy)
Cond A.
Although Cappiello executed several posters for this company, and this unsigned, stupendous creation has all the hallmarks of the master, I didn't include it in my catalogue raisonne as I could find no confirmation of its authorship. However as archives of the Campari company now clearly indicate that it is by Cappiello, we'll gladly credit it to him as well. What we are shown is an eerily footlight illuminated harlequin as he begins the process that we suspect will end in the draining of his bottle of Cordial Campari.
