The TSR’s archives – Exposition Cappiello in Fribourg (Switzerland) in October 1962. (Bear in mind that the story on the exhibition only starts after the fourth minute of the recording).
A series of 5 clips titled: ‘La mémoire imprimée. Un siècle d’affiches en Belgique‘ was produced by Olivier Hottois, with the interviews of: Marie-Laurence Bernard, Pierre Baudson, Gilles Fiszman, Daniel Dratwa, Henri Gutman, explaining a century of poster creation in Belgium with key figures such as: Jules Chéret, Mucha, Adolphe Crespin, Livat-Privemont, Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Cassiers, Théo Van Rysselberghe, Leonetto Cappiello, Cassandre, Savignac, Léo Marfurt, Julian Key, Magritte, … and many others. Clip n°3 introduces Cappiello’s work in the history of poster art and particularly Belgian poster art (La mémoire imprimée_Un siècle d’affiches en Belgique_extrait 03.wmv – YouTube).
In 1987, Paul-Henri Bourrelier presents the exhibition which he organized on La Revue Blanche and Le Cri de Paris in a series of clips. Clip n°3 focuses on the beginning of Cappiello’s career in Paris.
Posters and photos of Leonetto Cappiello. (We will point out that the Cognac Jacquet and Sauvion’s Brandy posters are not by Cappiello).
Posters, a poster sketche and a caricature. (We will point out that the ‘Moulin Rouge, Bal – La Goulue’ poster is not by Cappiello. We hope that the author of this slideshow will correct the spelling of Cappiello’s name).
Photos of Cappiello and posters.
Presentation of a part of the posters offered for sale at Swann Galleries in New-York on the 6th of August 2008. (Cappiello’s posters can be seen after 3.25 minutes of recording).
