Forget the Flu and The Crappy Economy: Vintage Art Will Lift Your Spirits
by mommyq

Aix Les Bains

There is lots to be stressed about these days. From the flu to unemployment and everything else - in fact, the list of worries is too long to mention. Couldn't we all use some relief?

Treat yourself to beautiful art and retro-inspired glamour by artist Leonetto Cappiello. I just love this vintage artwork and reached out to Gallery Direct about it. My favorite? Aix Les Bains. I love the contagious happiness and the bold colors. As a treat to women everywhere who can use a big dose of fun, I'm pleased to do a giveaway on my blog, MommyQ.

Together with Gallery Direct, we are currently accepting entries for one winner to recieve a 36 x 40 Canvas Gallery Wrap of Aix Les Bains by Cappiello.

If you have not heard of Cappiello, he is famous for being a self-taught advertising genius. For example, this bright and brilliant piece is actually selling a wonderful little town in France, Aix les Bains. You see, Cappiello created bold figures popping out of black backgrounds, which was a startling contrast to the artwork being painted at that time. He is known as “the father of modern advertising” and produced more than 530 posters in his lifetime.

To participate in this giveaway, follow this link over to the Gallery Direct website. Enter your information in the form on the “Request a Catalog” page and you will automatically be entered. A winner will be chosen at random on Monday, November 16, 2009. Good luck!
