Absinthe Pernot by Leonetto Cappiello

Leonetto Cappiello (1875 – 1942), considered to be the father of the modern poster, revolutionized advertising and turned it into a collectible art form. Self-taught, the Italian Cappiello was originally a caricaturist who became the most significant European artist of the early 20th century by masterfully linking products with strikingly colored, contemporary, memorable images. In 40 years he created 1,000 works, including innovative posters for beverages, ballet, literature, plays, travel and music halls. Cappiello led the Art Deco movement, and set standards which are still fundamental to today’s advertising. 

Each of our orders are printed individually on demand to ensure quality. Other listings will print your poster on cheap thin bond paper stock that will quickly fade. 

All our posters are printed on a thick, beautiful, professional matte lithography paper stock. Our studio also produces prints for artists, and this is the same stock that we use for them.  We feel this paper just produces a superior image for all our clients.  Once set under glass and in a frame, it looks even better. 

This poster may have been digitally cleaned to remove perceived imperfections such as tape marks, creases, and paper tears that may have been part of the original scanned or photographed image.

All prints are standard sizes and will fit in a standard sized frame. Prints are sent well protected in heavy tubing for shipping.  If for any reason, your poster is damaged in shipping, please contact us here with photos of the damage and we would be happy to replace your poster with shipping, for free.   We like our customers happy.
