Stamp by Feri Varga
fictional 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!

Feri (Ferenc) Varga, was born in 1906, in Terézfoeld, Hungary. At a young age, he accidently becomes interested in art and he dreams of being a sculpture. He will be a painter, graphic designer, then later a sculptor. At 14, he learns the rudiments of sculpture from an Italian sculptor. Thanks to a grant, he moves to Paris in 1924, where he takes classes at the School of Fine Arts, then at the School of Arts and Crafts where he receives his diploma. This is a time that the young man experiences great material poverty but also great happiness. He meets other young Hungarian artists, he chooses Montparnasse as his home, he draws a lot, nourishes himself with ... milk, and tries to support the young exiled artists. He produces caricatures, notably for ‘L'Intransigeant’ and does different ‘little jobs’ that allow him to survive.
Coming to Paris with the idea of being a sculptor, his taste for color makes him a painter. He produces projects for prints, tissues and silk. His art is concentrated on colors and forms, and leans toward abstraction. Varga lives in Paris for 15 years, until 1939. In 1933, he spends a year in Spain. In this same year, he exhibits at the Bonaparte Gallery in Paris.
Fleeing the occupation of Paris in 1940, he moves to the Côte d’Azur, to Cagnes-sur-Mer, during this time the region is a sort of centre reuniting important artist of the time. Varga stays here for 20 years. He meets Picasso, Pignon, Cocteau, Jacques Prévert and many others. Varga illustrates several works of poets (Cocteau, Verdet, André Miguel, etc.).
Feri Varga participates in many collective exhibitions; several solo exhibitions show his work in France and abroad (the Picasso Museum, C. Allendy Gallery, etc.).
He lived in Germany until his death in 1989.
Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
