Constantin Alajálov for Paramount

In 1931, Constantin Alajálov illustrated this print advertisement for Paramount Pictures Short Subjects. His smartly-dressed upscale couple is rendered as slightly angular and impossibly chic. Alajálov's advertising art necessarily lacks the incisive social commentary of his magazine covers, but it remains accomplished and appealing.

Note:  There's a lot more art by Constantin Alajálov. Take a look.

I also have quite a few more posts on advertising. Take a look and maybe buy a little something for yourself.
