A harlequin in a white costume with green trim and a pointed hat lifts a forkful of spaghetti high above a plate, against a flat red ground, under the lettering Pâtes Baroni. Cappiello designed the poster in 1921 for the Baroni pasta company, and it is one of the clearest examples of his method: a single arresting figure, one flat colour, the product named and nothing else. Printed by Devambez, Paris. The impression reproduced is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A white harlequin on flat red, for a kitchen, dining room or pantry wall at 18×24 or 24×32 in thin black, no mat. It suits a white or cream wall and pairs with Parapluie-Revel.
