Also known simply as Aix, this town is known for its thermal spas, Roman ruins, and Gothic architecture.Cappiello helped lead the Art Deco movement and is considered the “father of the modern poster” because he created advertisements that were also collectible pieces of art. Artist BiographyLeonetto Cappiello (9 April 1875 – 2 February 1942) was an Italian and French poster art designer and painter, who mainly lived and worked in Paris. He is now often called ‘the father of modern advertising’ because of his innovation in poster design. The early advertising poster was characterized by a painterly quality as evidenced by early poster artists Jules Chéret, Alfred Choubrac and Hugo D’Alesi. Cappiello, like other young artists, worked in a way that was almost the opposite of his predecessors. He was the first poster artist to use bold figures popping out of black backgrounds, a startling contrast to the posters early norm.
