Stamp by Monique Orsini
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!

Monique Orsini was born in Quercitello, Corsica in 1937 to parents who were teachers. Her father dedicated his spare time to painting, delighting himself notably by reproducing the works of famous artists. From a very tender childhood, the young girl was naturally attracted by the visual arts, encouraged by a fatherly complicity at every instance. As a student, she participated in numerous artistic training courses, and came into contact with art in general, galleries and museums in particular. This environment became indispensible to her.
Self-taught, Monique Orsini will later teach the artistic disciplines and will start up many children’s studios. The artist will gain a lot of experience from these teacher-student experiences, integrating them into the syntax of her own creative vocabulary.
Through the circumstances of her artistic life, she meets and becomes friends with artists, such as Karel Appel, Olivier Debré, Bram Van Velde, Hartung and Pierre Soulages. Bengt Lindstrom becomes particularly close, as the Swedish artist supports her and pushes her to show her work.
Some words of the artist: "Painting is indispensible for me, as important as breathing. It compels me to a free consented discipline, and at the same time stimulates and balances me”. On canvas, or on paper, Monique Orsini works most often painted in series, giving each painting a task thus helping us to live better, proposes that we communicate with the same source of transcendental emotion. Her world is an informal world. Besides group exhibitions that the artist takes part in, numerous solo exhibitions, in France and abroad - notably in Sweden - mark, gradually, the journey of Monique Orsini.
The artist lives and works near 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.
