Tõnis Laanemaa 1937 Race (From the series "Wheels"). 1974

The graphic page is lined with stencil images - a row of tires and a showdown of muscle men pitted against each other, between which a car race takes place. The setting seems to be Italy or some old European city. The picture becomes exciting when you try to define the car brands as of 1974 in this confusion, because it is not Volga, Zhiguli, Moskvich or Zaporozhets, i.e. the only car brands that could be obtained in the Soviet Union. On what information could Tõnis Laanemaa have made this graphic page? You can feel the moment of competition, as well as the adrenaline that could have possessed the 37-year-old artist while studying the cars.
