Ah yes! Love their work - especially Cappiello.

His graphic expression - so vivid & playful yet simple & fluid - always evokes in me a covetous "Why couldn't I have thought of that?" I guess that's what made him a master.

Thanks for sharing these, Robert.

I was at an art fair last week and there was an original two pieces (it was to big to fit in one) litho poster 19.950,00 euro.
Left it hanging after examening it with my nose...
Does anyone of you know the art nouveau genious Victor Horta?
Realizing we are in the 2nd renaissance of the arts.
Learn, copy and trying to improve...
Still in the learning phase ;-)
