Konstantin Makovsky (1839—1915, Russia)
History paintings
Makovsky was an influential Russian painter, affiliated with the Peredvizhniki school of Realism. While some of his work reacts against the Academy, he found success in the Salon alongside other Academic painters, and his work can be seen as perhaps related to the French movement of Academic Naturalism. Many of his historical paintings showed an idealised, Romantic view of Russian life of prior centuries, with a particular focus on Boyar people and culture. He was also a popular and prolific portrait painter.

Salmson. ca. 1929. Alexis Kow.
42 ¾ x 62 5/8 in./108.6 x 159 cm
Salmson began as a manufacturer of water-cooled airplane engines. Consequently, the poster boasts that the car has the precision of these airplane motors. Their first automobiles appeared in 1921, and graduated from amusing cyclecars to sports cars, and from there to majestic luxury sedans like this one. In 1925, Salmson won 76 races and set 14 speed records for its class. Russian-born Kow created smart and sleek automobile print advertisements and posters. Here, he makes effective use of strong, flat colors, with the Salmon insignia shining above, as the blurry whir of a plane engine spins in the background.
