  Julius Klinger (22 May 1876 – 1942) was an Austrian painter, draftsman, illustrator, commercial graphic artist, typographer and writer. Klinger studied at the Technologisches Gewerbemuseum in Vienna. Klinger was born in Dornbach near Vienna. In 1895, he found his first employment with the Vienna fashion magazine Wiener Mode. Here he made acquaintance with Koloman Moser, who would later be his teacher; Moser recommended him to the Meggendorfer-Blätter. 1896 saw him moving to Munich where he worked as an illustrator for the Meggendorfer-Blätter and others. From 1897 to 1902 he was a collaborator to the eponymous Jugendstil magazine Die Jugend. Being of Jewish descent, Klinger suffered from national socialist harassment.

  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 Museu...
