The artwork “Cognac Pellisson,” created by Leonetto Cappiello in 1907, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement and serves as an advertisement poster.
The artwork depicts a playful yet striking scene where a large barrel of “Pellisson Père & Cie Cognac” appears to be balanced precariously on the back of a red-haired figure dressed in a yellow outfit. The vibrant colors and stylized design elements are characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, with a particular emphasis on fluid forms and bold, eye-catching imagery. The background is a deep, solid black, which makes the figure and the barrel stand out prominently. The text “COGNAC PELLISSON” is boldly displayed at the bottom in uppercase yellow letters, ensuring the brand name is easily noticeable. The overall composition and visual elements of the artwork are designed to capture attention and convey the brand’s message effectively.
