Raymond Guerrier
I have the taste natural to paint in depth and without system.
Raymond Guerrier was born in Paris in 1920. He was of Breton extraction. He was a real solitary. And with all the museums he frequented, he was an autodidact. He spent almost his whole life in Provence - he settled down in Eygalières in 1955, where his need of independence, calm and freedom lead him. His first personal exhibition was organized in the Gallery Stiébel (Paris); others came after . . .

Stamp by Raymond Guerrier
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 Raymond Guerrier
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Il fit partie de ces artistes qui renouvelèrent la peinture figurative en abordant la réalité. Le peintre Raymond Guerrier est mort le 5 avril 2002 à Eygalières où il vivait depuis 1955 ; il avait 82 ans. Entouré des superbes paysages des Alpilles, il repose dans le petit cimetière de ce tranquille village de Provence situé à quelques kilomètres de Saint Rémy de Provence. En son hommage, nous déposons une branche d’olivier auprès de lui.
"Raymond Guerrier a renoncé aux facilités de la peinture sans verser dans la décoration ni la gratuité ; il a abandonné les apparences sans perdre le contact avec la réalité." - Michel del Castillo
"Je peins, je ne fais pas de littérature!" - Raymond Guerrier
"Ce qui compte beaucoup chez Guerrier, c’est l’accent de vérité, le témoignage humain si personnel que reflète son oeuvre." - Jean Rollin
"Guerrier a pris racine dans le roc." - Pierre Emmanuel
"Il y a, entre les chauds et les froids, tout un jeu de correspondances qui sont le reflet de la pensée et des sentiments du peintre. C’est pourquoi son art nous émeut dès l’abord, comme une confidence." - Jean Rollin
"Rigueur dans le regard qui dépouille l'anecdote de tout ce qui n'est pas essentiel, qui finit par ôter au sujet tout ce qui distrait et qui flatte les yeux pour n'en plus considérer que les implications profondes." - Michel del Castillo
