Leonetto Cappiello


"Jaquin" (1930)
This piece is full of color and movement. It also has texture because of the ribbons on the figure's costume. This piece also has a nice rhythm to it from the way the ribbons on the costume move.
"Campari" (1921)
Again Cappiello uses bright colors to catch the viewer's eye. There is also movement in this piece with the way the orange peel goes up and around the figure. The orange peel also unifies the piece because the viewer follows the peel all the way up and down the piece. The viewer doesn't get stuck anywhere because of it.


"Chocolat Klaus" (1903)
In this design Cappiello uses a lot of color. His use of bright colors makes the design pop off of the black background. There is also a nice balance between the figure in the mid-ground and the lettering in the foreground. They don't over power each other.
