Stamp by Jacques Villeglé
fictionnal stamp
The publication of a postal stamp is often a homage paid by a nation to a place, an event, a remarkable cause or a character which count. The painters and other artists do not escape from this rule. Some are however "forgotten" of postal art. Here, gathered below (French or foreign), emitted stamps (206) or simple studies of stamp (224) in homage to the artists represented on our website. The first French stamp was emitted in 1849, England preceded us by ten years. There is often a share of voyage in this small form of shape paper. The stamp circulates, sails, flies away, it makes dream, then dream a little. M.C.
When the stamp is really emitted, the artist name is preceded of an asterisk (*). It is certain that we do not know each stamp emitted for such or such artist; do not hesitate with us to make known them!

A tribute to Jacques Villeglé
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Jacques Villeglé, l’une des grandes figures de l’art contemporain, s’est éteint le 6 juin 2022 à Paris ; il avait 96 ans. Après des funérailles dans la capitale, une messe se tint en l’église Sainte-Croix de Saint-Servan (Saint-Malo), « sa » commune où il repose désormais. De tous les cimetières de Saint-Malo, le vieux cimetière de Saint-Servan (dit aussi Jeanne Jugan, du nom de la rue dans lequel il se trouve), est à l’évidence le plus romantique avec sa surabondance de végétation, ses tombes anciennes moussues ; on l'appelle aussi le « cimetière de la vigne au chat ». Avec respect, ces fleurs du lierre.
"L'art serait aussi, ou d'abord, ce qui nous fait voir la réalité que nous avons sous les yeux." - Jacques Villeglé
"Les affiches m’ont tout de suite intéressé. J’ai compris qu’avec elles, on verrait l’évolution du monde, les mots changer, de nouvelles couleurs. " - Jacques Villeglé
"La fin des années 1980 a été un âge d’or car il y avait beaucoup d’affichage sauvage. Le soir de l’élection présidentielle en avril 1988, j’ai pris un camion, cinq types et nous sommes allés faire un tour. En une heure, j’ai fait toute une exposition." - Jacques Villeglé
"Le tout c’est d’avoir du génie à 20 ans et du talent à 80." - Jacques Villeglé
"Le ravir plutôt que le faire." - Jacques Villeglé
"Un artiste se doit d'apporter une nouvelle beauté /.../ L'affiche, émanation de la propagande des pouvoirs politiques et financiers, c'est par les couleurs qui débordent des déchirures qu'elle devient fleur de la vie contemporaine, affirmation d'optimisme et de gaieté." - Jacques Villeglé
