With his paintings Samuil Adlivankin easily moved across styles and genres, from non-objective paintings to figuration and from realism to the grotesque. He also illustrated popular magazines and executed drawings (together with Vladimir Mayakovsky) for political posters. Adlivankin’s period of greatest success was the early 1930s, when he produced a number of classic works of socialist realism. Additionally, he executed monumental murals for the Far East Pavilion at the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow.
Since 1936 Samuil Adlivankin exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions across Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia and Germany. More recently, his work was included in the exhibitions: “In Other Worlds: The Art of The Russian Avant Garde, 1910-1930” at the Shchukin Gallery, New York; “Realismi socialisti. Grande pittura sovietica 1920-1970” at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, (Rome, Italy); “Soviet Idealism” at Musée de l'art wallon (Liege, France); “New City” at the State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia (Moscow, Russia) and in the itinerant exhibition “The Great Utopia: the Russian and Soviet avant-garde, 1915-1932” at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of New York and then at the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam and at the Schirn Kunsthalle of Frankurt/Main.
