Stamp by Albert Marquet
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!

A tribute to Albert Marquet
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Albert Marquet est mort à Paris le 13 juin 1947, il avait 73 ans. Il repose, au sommet d’un coteau dominant la Seine, dans le petit cimetière de La-Frette-sur-Seine (Val-d’Oise). Il faut se souvenir que l’un des sujets favoris du peintre fut la représentation de la Seine - et de ses quais - sur laquelle donnait son atelier et qui lui fournira tout au long de sa vie un motif inépuisable. En hommage à sa mémoire, un couple de fleurs d’eau.
"Marquet consacre une grande partie de son temps à l'étude du paysage et s'efforce de lui donner vie par la recherche d'un certain flou, dans l'inachèvement des volumes: c'est l'âme de ce tableau né d'un frémissement maîtrisé." - Joseph Llapasset
"Ses peintures seraient-elles des fenêtres, des trous dans le mur, ouvrant poétiquement et indiscrètement sur ce qui n'est plus ?" - Didier Schulmann
"Quand Marquet était resté quelques temps sans peindre, il se sentait perdu, hors de son monde." - Marcelle Marquet, sa femme
"Au-dessous de chez nous, 19, quai Saint-Michel, à Paris habitait Matisse. Quand nous rentrions de voyage, les bagages à peine défaits, Albert donnait des coups de canne sur le parquet et bientôt nous entendions sonner le vieil ami, curieux de voir ce que nous rapportions. Il choisissait quelque chose et c'était l'amorce d'un nouvel échange." - Marcelle Marquet, sa femme
"Marquet ! C’est notre Hokusai." - Henri Matisse
"Un art du bonheur. On a l'impression que tout lui vient au bout du pinceau." - Françoise Garcia, conservateur Musée des beaux-arts de Bordeaux
Notes of biography
Albert Marquet was born in Bordeaux in 1875. He studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris from 1890-1894, where he became friends with Henri Matisse. He continued his studies at the School of Fine Arts in the studio of Gustave Moreau, from 1895-1898. Albert Marquet paints landscapes and post-impressionist nudes that become more and more colourful and simplified; he expresses himself - following the example of Matisse - in pure tones.
At the beginning of the century Albert Marquet exhibits in the Parisian Salons (the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon d’Automne) and takes part in numerous art events organised abroad (Russia, the United States, etc.). Marquet meets Dufy and Camoin. He is present at the famous "Cage aux Fauves", that makes a scandal at the Salon d’Automne in 1905; at this time he paints canvases with forms surrounded by black, representing portraits, the Normandy beaches or animated scenes. The artist represents the Seine, often views seen from above and creates variations of themes by changing the time of day and using different lighting.
His first solo exhibition is organized in 1907 at the Druet Gallery in Paris. At the beginning of the 1910’s, Marquet paints a series of realistic female nudes. He is unfit for military service in 1914. From the 1920’s until the 1940’s, Albert Marquet takes numerous trips to Europe and Africa that are for him, sources of inspiration in his art, a means for the man to see and learn about other cultures. Albert Marquet’s theme of predilection is his landscapes close to the water (the sea, lake, or river), landscapes that he treats using soft tones that are dominantly grey.
Albert Marquet, a sensitive man often well-liked for his modesty, died in 1947 in Paris.
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.
