Bibliography :
Collectif, Cappiello, caricatures, posters, paintings and decorative projects, catalogue of the exhibition at the Grand Palais, Paris, 3 April to 29 June 1981, a similar example exhibited under no. 309 and described by Réjane Bargiel-Harry as follows: "The full impact of this poster lies in the strength of the line that underpins its composition. The general movement is given by the position of the umbrellas, summarised by Pierre Andrin as a black range of three umbrellas dishevelled by the storm. The economy of means with which Capiello suggests the driving rain and the wind is quite exemplary".
