Stamp by Jean Cocteau
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 Jean Cocteau
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
A soixante quatorze ans, le 11 octobre 1963, Jean Cocteau décède à Milly-la-Forêt (Essonne, France). Il y repose depuis, dans la Chapelle Saint-Blaise des Simples qu’il avait décoré. Sur sa tombe, son épitaphe : Je reste avec vous. Voici, posée pour la mémoire, la fleur du géranium, qui fleurit les balcons de la Côte d’Azur qu’il aimait tant.
"Je trouve Cocteau très remarquablement intelligent et doué" - Marcel Proust
"La chambre de Cocteau était un désordre plein d'ordre intérieur. Les objets. les plus divers occupaient les murs, les tables, les chaises et jusqu'au lit d'hôtel suisse couvert d'un édredon à fleurs. " - Maurice Sachs
"Le souffle qui m’habite, je le connais mal, mais il n’est pas tendre. J'ai l'angoisse de l'heure et j'ai peur de la vie. " - Jean Cocteau
"Les hommes se jugent aux fidélités qu'ils suscitent." - Jean Marais (citant Albert Camus)
"Moins une oeuvre est comprise, moins vite elle ouvre ses pétales et moins vite elle se fane. " - Jean Cocteau
"Le vrai tombeau des morts, c'est le coeur des vivants. " - Jean Cocteau
