Leonetto Cappiello

Leonetto Cappiello (Livorno, April 9, 1875 - Cannes, February 2, 1942) was an Italian naturalized French publicist, illustrator, painter and caricaturist.

Together with Adolf Hohenstein, Giovanni Maria Mataloni, Leopoldo Metlicovitz and Marcello Dudovich, he was one of the fathers of modern Italian advertising billboards

Born into a wealthy family, he had an early self-taught artistic training, the first known drawings date back to 1888 (copies of family lithographs that reproduce masterpieces of Italian Renaissance art).

The official debut takes place in 1891 with the exhibition of four canvases (disappeared) at the Mostra Promotrice in Florence, an exhibition symbol of "secessionism" operated by the tendencies closest to impressionism as opposed to the current of the Macchiaioli more closely linked to a vernacular dimension. The following year, he exhibited three other canvases in the same venue, including Lady in an Interior (today in the Giovanni Fattori Civic Museum).

Martin Claus, 1880-1956 (at least that's what we think, but it might be not totally correct), german illustrator. We don't know much about his life, we can try to stitch together a timeline of his career from the dates of some of his works

The earliest example of his illustration is from a 1919 edition of the satirical magazine Meggendorfer Bl ätter, he would have been 31 years old, so it's sure that there are earlier works, but there's no evidence of them. Probably he was employed by the magazine as a staff artist. He had a different range of styles and techniques used all with technical and creative success .
