Leonetto Cappiello’s poster for the golf course at Font-Romeu, high in the French Pyrenees. Cappiello effectively invented the modern advertising poster — a single luminous figure against flat dark ground — and here he aims it at golf. The background is nearly black so the figure detonates off it. That trick is his, and everyone has stolen it since. Sell the feeling, not the field.
