Stamp by Amédée Ozenfant
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 Amédée Ozenfant
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Il allait avoir 80 ans. Le peintre et théoricien de l'art Amédée Ozenfant est mort à l'hôpital des Broussailles de Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes) le 4 mai 1966, ville où, après son retour des Etats-Unis, il s'était installé en 1955. Après ses obsèques à l'Eglise du Prado (Cannes), l'artiste sera inhumée quelques jours plus tard dans le cimetière Saint Jean de Saint-Quentin (Aisne), sa ville de naissance. Avec respect, nous déposons ici une fleur de lilas.
"L'art est avant tout dans la conception. La technique n'est qu'un outil, humblement au service de la conception. Le purisme ne croit pas que retourner à la nature signifie retourner à la copie de la nature. " - Le Corbusier et Amédée Ozenfant
"Dès son origine, j'avais refusé de limiter le purisme à une esthétique : je voulais que ce soit non pas une façon de faire mais une façon de penser et de sentir, en somme une philosophie, un esprit : un Esprit nouveau." - Amédée Ozenfant
"Notre présent est souvent fait de la lente intégration de notre passé." - Amédée Ozenfant
"Par son ouvrage « Foundations of Modern Art », Ozenfant a apporté une contribution essentielle à la culture moderne et à sa compréhension." - Lewis Mumford
"Ozenfant eut un caractère souple et ouvert. Elle lui confère une position de relais entre les avant-gardes passées et la création d'aujourd'hui." - Françoise Ducros
"Comme dans l'infini il n'y a ni Mesure ni Temps, je me sens exister sans dimensions et sans âge, à l'état d'idée, enfin comme une sorte d'Ame." - Amédée Ozenfant
