Newsweek Cover , Visitor from the Kremlin, Russia

Creator: Robert Engle
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
The work is in excellent condition and meticulously rendered in a photo-realistic style. It showcases the artist's high-level sense of design. Newsweek could hire any artist in the world. The fact that Robert Engle was chosen to do their prized cover was a testament to Engle's talent. It depicts a portrait of the not-so-friendly looking communist official, framed by the ramparts of the Kremlin. A bold-looking Soviet Union's Red Star looms above and makes a graphic statement about Cold War tensions. The subject is Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, a Soviet politician and Bolshevik revolutionary who served as the chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet and the head of state of the Soviet Union. Matted but Unframed
Cover of Newsweek, Visitor from the Kremlin, January 12, 1959
