EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Artem Mikoyan, a renowned Soviet aircraft designer. With his distinguished appearance and pensive gaze, Mikoyan exudes an air of intelligence and innovation. Born in 1905 to Armenian parents, he went on to become a prominent member of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Mikoyan's remarkable career was marked by his significant contributions to the field of aviation. He is best known for his collaboration with fellow designer Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich, which led to the establishment of their design bureau in 1939. Together, they revolutionized aircraft engineering by creating groundbreaking MiG fighter aircraft designs that shaped aviation history. Throughout the decades that followed, Mikoyan continued to push boundaries in aerospace technology, producing exceptional MiG models during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. His dedication and expertise earned him numerous accolades including two awards as Hero of Socialist Labour.
