EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Transport. Aviation. The dream of Icarus" takes us back to the early 20th century, where imagination and innovation merged in a single illustration by J. Solomko from Hungary in 1916. The image depicts the mythical figure of Icarus alongside an airplane, symbolizing mankind's eternal fascination with flight. In Greek mythology, Icarus attempted to escape his earthly bounds by fashioning wings made of feathers and wax but tragically flew too close to the sun, resulting in his downfall. Solomko's artwork beautifully captures this timeless tale as it intersects with modern aviation. The delicate balance between ambition and caution is palpable as we witness Icarus soaring through the sky on one side while an intricately designed aircraft graces the other. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing both antiquity and progress within a single frame. This postcard-sized print serves as a reminder that humanity has always yearned for exploration and advancement, pushing boundaries despite potential risks. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded not only of our past dreams but also our ongoing pursuit of new horizons. It encapsulates the essence of aviation - bridging gaps between time periods and cultures while inspiring generations to reach for their own skies.
