Oysters farmed in Andernos on the Arcachon Bay.
Oysters farmed in Andernos on the Arcachon Bay.
Description:
By the sea, a couple enjoys oysters opened by the vendor.
To draw his characters, Cappiello drew inspiration from his brother Oreste and from Camille (on the left) and Marie Müller (in the center), sisters of the painter Alfredo Müller. Camille and Oreste married on March 3, 1900, in Paris's 17th arrondissement.
"The sketch for this poster was made in June 1901 and the artist was paid 500F.
While women are heavily represented in Cappiello's posters overall, men are much less so, although there are male types: the jovial heavyset figures of Eschenauer or Cruz del Campo, historical figures: the Caesar of Esperantine, the Francis I of Bières du Fort-Carré, or the Henry IV of Royal Gaillac, men depicted for their role: the magistrates of El Gramophone, the shoemaker of Cuir, the chef of Lesieur. They are rarely presented for themselves; they merely accompany women in scenes of daily life, but it is the women who embody the appeal: here, the man turns his back to us, his only value lies in the black shape of his jacket, which echoes that of the shawl of the oyster seller, framing the yellow shape formed by the dress.
A note on the pastel mentions a print run of 3,000 copies." [in Cappiello 1875-1942: Caricatures, Posters, Paintings, and Decorative Projects, 1981]
