Leonetto CAPPIELLO (1875-1942)
Typewriter, 1921
Mixed media and collage. Mounted on canvas. 
Signed lower right.
(Small holes. Small stains).
159.5 x 119 cm

Bibliography : 
Rennert, p. 125, no. 169, a poster for Remington.


Cappiello's only referenced typewriter poster is for Remington. It depicts a secretary typing at her machine, surrounded by sheets of paper flying around her - one of his best. 
Our mock-up is probably preparatory research - the difference is that it's rollers that, coming out of the machine, fill the image with arabesques of the most decorative effect.
