Cappiello’s whimsical genius is abundantly on display in this poster for Parapluie-Revel Umbrellas. In Cappiello’s masterful hands, the image of an ordinary, everyday object called an umbrella is elevated into an art element. The bright yellow and red contrast with the somber black of the umbrellas, which shroud the windswept figures beneath them. Decades after the demise of Parapluie-Revel, its advertising still coaxes smiles.
