Cocktail Posters
French poster artists of the interwar years, the aperitif era: our cocktail posters draw on that golden age. Leonetto Cappiello painted for Maurin Quina, Suze and Bouillon Kub. He invented the "lithograph for the street": stylised shapes, saturated colour, signature in block letters. Tamagno did the Italian vermouths (the red devil of Fernet-Branca is his). Massieux did the Menier chocolates.
Aperitif and cocktail brands were the favourite playground of that generation of poster artists, because they had the budget and tolerated humour. For the cocktail bar, kitchen or dining room.
