Naturalized French in 1952, Johnny Friedlaender was born in 1912 in Germany. Although he knew a difficult life, Friedlaender became one of the uncontested contemporary masters of the etching. His work went always in the heart of things and beings, his search was constantly poetic, leaving the freedom to his emotion and reinventing ceaselessly the power of suggestion. He studied to the Art . . .

Stamp by Johnny Friedlaender

fictionnal stamp

Pic

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 Johnny Friedlaender

Sorry this section is only available in french for now.

Johnny Fiedlaender, qui avait fuit le nazisme et s’était établi en 1937 à Paris, qui connut plusieurs camps d'internement d'étrangers, qui travailla avec la Résistance et échappa par miracle aux camps hitlériens, qui prit la nationalité française en 1952, Johnny Fiedlaender, meurt à Paris le 18 juin 1992 à la veille d’entrer dans sa 81ème année ; il choisit d’être incinéré. Un rite funéraire se déroula à la synagogue de Paris. En hommage à sa mémoire, une orchidée.

"Je ne suis qu’un peintre qui grave." - Johnny Friedlaender

Pic

"Friedlaender porte dans son oeuvre un esprit, un tour et un ton qui ne sont qu'à lui parmi les graveurs modernes. Son oeuvre se continue et se soutient dans un ordre d’idées graphiques de plus en plus original d'invention et d'achèvement." - Christian Zervos

Pic

"L’exaltante mélodie poétique de Friedlaender possède un extrême don de pénétration spirituelle et d'enivrante invitation à l’évasion." - Gaston Diehl

Pic

"Friedlaender aimait tout dans la gravure : le cuivre lui-même et toutes les techniques : eau-forte, burin, vernis mou, relief, berceau, aquatinte... Il exigeait que tout fût vraiment gravé en creux, sans tricherie; le métier absolu." - Elève anonyme de l’artiste

Pic

"Le peintre Friedlaender dans une démarche unique apporte à l'appui du graveur Friedlaender une dimension nouvelle, celle de la transparence. Tout son être est regard. Lorsqu'il déchiffre cet univers à l'immuable gravitation, sait-il où va ce regard toujours plus axé au coeur de la création ?" - Bernard Gheerbrant, galeriste, éditeur, fondateur de la librairie La Hune.

"Johnny Friedlaender condensa toutes les lumières nocturnes." - Paul Eluard
