Le Printemps : Maquette. 1919.

ARTIST: LEONETTO CAPPIELLO (1875-1942) SIZE: 21 x 15 in./53.3 x 38 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: Cappiello gives us a joyful and enchanted image of dancers emerging out of the clouds in a dreamlike scene. Clearly, the environment is festive; despite some of the men getting a little frisky, the action seems to be in goodhearted fun. The rendering is less caricaturistic for Cappiello and feels more so like a film still from the golden age of Hollywood. This image was reproduced as a two-spread in the 1919 edition of Fantasio magazine. (Art Deco; Artist: Cappiello; Dance)
