Bouillon Kub | 1931 | by Leonetto Cappiello

Leonetto Cappiello (1875 – 1942) was an Italian poster artist who lived much of his life in Paris, France. With no formal training in art, he emerged as one of the leading Italian artist and caricaturist in Paris that eventually succeeded the other famous lithographers as the leading advertising poster designer in Paris. When this poster first appeared on the streets of Paris in 1931, it shocked onlookers. Until that point, posters had been no more than simple bearers of information, text with or without a picture. Nothing so bold or graphically aggressive was ever ever created in advertising. It was, and remains, a revolutionary poster, pushing the medium to a new level of compositional directness and intensity. 

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.
