Description

Under the roar of the big top and the blitz of a thousand spotlights, Leonetto Cappiello didn’t illustrate—he detonated. The Circus isn’t a picture; it’s a riot wearing a yellow skirt and screaming through crimson air, its centrifugal force tearing through your screen like a fever dream of Belle Époque advertising design.

This Leonetto Cappiello iPhone case doesn’t whisper nostalgia—it shouts it through a megaphone of expressionist circus chaos, where wild horses vault through color storms and umbrellas become weapons of ecstatic survival. You won't be holding a phone case; you’ll grip a fragment of Parisian cabaret culture, torn from the walls of 1900s Montmartre and reborn in your palm.

Cappiello’s genius wasn’t subtle. It was seismic—bold figures in combat with voids, modernist graphic art that knew no decorum. This vintage poster art phone case crackles with surreal performance energy, a kind of proto-surrealism dressed in sequins and smoke. For collectors, rebels, and lovers of visual uproar: this is your call to the center ring. The spectacle doesn’t sleep. It charges.

About the Artist

​Leonetto Cappiello (1875–1942) was an Italian-born artist who transformed the landscape of advertising in early 20th-century Paris. Without formal artistic training, he began his career as a caricaturist for satirical journals like Le Rire and L’Assiette au Beurre.

In 1899, he created his first poster for the newspaper Frou-Frou, marking the start of a prolific career in poster art . Rejecting the ornate Art Nouveau style, Cappiello introduced bold figures against dark backgrounds, a technique that made his work instantly recognizable and effective in capturing public attention.

Over his lifetime, he produced more than 530 posters for various products, including food, beverages, and theatrical events. His innovative approach earned him the title "father of modern advertising".
