Description
Gaspar Camps, an influential Spanish poster artist, was known for his ability to blend art and advertising into compelling, visually striking works. Active during the early 20th century, Camps emerged as a leading figure in the world of graphic design, contributing significantly to the evolution of poster art. His works often reflected the elegant and sophisticated tastes of the period, particularly capturing the essence of the Art Deco movement, which was gaining prominence during his career.
One of his standout pieces is Élégante à l'ombrelle, created around 1920. This poster reflects the opulence and modernity of the time, embodying the desire for luxury and refinement that marked the post-World War I era. Like many of Camps' works, Élégante à l'ombrelle was not just an advertisement but a celebration of contemporary fashion and society.
The poster features a fashionable woman, elegantly posed and holding an umbrella, capturing a sense of grace and sophistication. The woman represents the epitome of beauty and refinement, with her attire and posture conveying the ideals of modern femininity. The umbrella, a common accessory of the time, serves both as a symbol of high society and a tool for creating a striking visual contrast, drawing attention to the figure’s silhouette and enhancing her elegant stature.
Camps' approach to color and form was central to the poster's appeal. His use of clean, bold lines and carefully chosen color palettes showcased the growing trend of minimalism and geometric patterns in design. At the same time, the subtle details of the woman’s outfit and accessories provide just enough texture to give the image a sense of depth and sophistication.
The era in which Élégante à l'ombrelle was created—post-World War I—saw a dramatic shift in societal values, particularly regarding fashion and identity. The roaring 1920s was a time of social and cultural change, with women increasingly asserting their independence and embracing new forms of personal expression. In this context, Camps’ work reflects not only the era's aesthetic values but also the evolving role of women in society. The image of the elegant, self-assured woman holding an umbrella symbolizes the growing empowerment of women, who were stepping into the public eye in new and bold ways.
Camps’ style, heavily influenced by Art Deco, was marked by its emphasis on symmetry, sleek lines, and a sense of luxurious modernism. This design approach, while maintaining a refined elegance, was also highly commercial, as posters like Élégante à l'ombrelle served both as advertisements for products and as powerful visual statements about fashion, wealth, and status.
As a key example of early 20th-century poster art, Élégante à l'ombrelle captures the dual nature of commercial art during the time. It is both an advertisement for fashion and a reflection of the broader cultural and aesthetic currents of the period. The poster conveys the glamour and sophistication that was sought after during the Jazz Age, offering an idealized image of beauty, modernity, and high society.
In the years since it was created, Élégante à l'ombrelle has become an iconic piece of art, representing not just the fashion of the time but the cultural shift toward modernity. Gaspar Camps’ work continues to influence designers and artists today, standing as a reminder of the power of graphic art to shape cultural and commercial landscapes. Through its elegance and timeless appeal, Élégante à l'ombrelle remains a vivid portrayal of the aspirations and aesthetic sensibilities of the early 20th century.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
