"Mossant." Lithograph, signed "Capiello" on the lower left corner in the image. Image size approx. 62-1/4" x 42", framed overall approx. 69" x 49". In his advertisement paintings, Cappiello took the unusual approach of making his characters and scenes look anonymous. He would regularly avoid using faces on his characters, preferring instead a dry "less is more" look. The results were always quite successful, and kept Cappiello in high demand during his career. Provenance: From the collection of Tom Wilson, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Wilson's collection spans several decades and includes wonderful Art Deco, sculpture, paintings and drawings from around the the world. Mr. Wilson is a well know cartoonist and creator of the character Ziggy.
