Leonetto CAPPIELLO (1875-1942) Vigor, Dunlop Tiger tire, 1919 Mixed media. Mounted on canvas. Signed center left. Annotated. (Restoration of two tears, stains and rubbing). 158 x 120 cm Bibliography : Rennert, p. 288, no. 466. Flat tires were a nightmare for cyclists, and especially for early motorists, on roads that were at the time paved with gravel. Tire manufacturers all emphasized the durability of their products. After using a red devil for Torrilhon (see no. 10), Cappiello, delving into his "decorative menagerie" as Jacques Vienot so aptly put it, chose a tiger for Dunlop's Vigor tire. The layout is identical and the effect is guaranteed.
