"From the entrance, visitors to the Galerie Devambez are greeted by these admirable white peacocks, one of Cappiello's most accomplished works, which, enormous and snowy on a wall of the Champs-Elysées, made one think less of the laundry they advertised than of a well-known chapter in 'Daustin' or verses by Robert de Montesquiou." E. Jaloux, 1923 Cappiello, a colorist, abandoned his vibrant palette on several occasions, particularly in this poster: he masterfully depicts three white peacocks against a black background. He subverts the traditional symbolism associated with the image of the peacock with its iridescent plumage fanning its tail." [in Cappiello. Caricatures Posters Paintings. Grand Palais. 1981]
