Description:
A Turk, sitting on the smoke of a boiling cup of coffee, holds a coffee pot in one hand and four packets of coffee in the other.
"In the poster for Café Martin, Cappiello created, by personifying the aroma, the essence of coffee, the 'genie of coffee,' released like the genie of the lamp. The Turk sailing on the fragrant vapors escaping from a richly decorated cup, the heavy and rich atmosphere suggest the charm, mystery, and refinement of the Orient of the Thousand and One Nights. The strength of Cappiello's poster lies in the balance of forms: the inertia of the cup despite the movement of the decor and the elegant and powerful arabesque of the steam coiling around the character. The artist's approach is the same for Café Martin and for the Bitter Campari." [in Cappiello. Caricatures posters paintings.1981]
