Ladislas Kijno
If to create was to never become an adult, remain desperately a child.
Ladislas Kijno was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1921. He arrived in France in 1925. He created his first artistic works in the beginning of the 40’s, while also studying Philosophy at the University of Lille. He founded the Cadran group in 1950, with Paul Gay. From 1954 he will devote himself exclusively to painting. He moves to Paris in 1958. Kijno becomes a member of the committee of the Salon . . .

These artworks, now sold or removed from our website, have been in our stock in the past. These pages will undoubtedly make it possible for some of you to associate an image with its title or the other way round, for others it will be a good time to discover more on such and such artist.

Stamp by Ladislas Kijno
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 Ladislas Kijno
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Figure majeure du mouvement de la peinture informelle, installé en France en 1925 dans le Pas-de-Calais, Ladislas Kijno est décédé le lundi 27 novembre 2012 au soir dans sa maison de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, dans les Yvelines. Il sera inhumé au cimetière du Montparnasse (2ème division) le 1er décembre. Lors de ses funérailles, son ami Robert Combas récita un long poème qui commençait par ces premiers vers : « C'est beau d'être un ange ! / D'un seul coup l'horizon se réveille / Dix mille trompettes / Sonnent au firmament / La lumière est si intense / Qu'on ne voit plus vrai / Comme l'Éternel quand il débarque / Quand il débarque avec sa cour / Au grand galop / Rien n'est comparable / … ». En son hommage, cette rose couleur fushia.
"Mon art est un art de combat. " - Ladislas Kijno
"Ce temps ralenti dont Kijno éprouvait le besoin, car il était son véritable «ailleurs», il l’a concrétisé dans les toiles, ou les techniques mixtes, en donnant aux rapports entre ses formes-mères, les«blasons», et les taches, les rythmes, les empreintes, les scarifications, un autre espace, une autre couleur." - Pierre Cabanne
"Ton art est dialogue, et c’est assez pour que chacun l’admire et l’aime" - Bernard Dorival
"Mon plus grand regret ? Que ce magnifique sacerdoce qu'est la peinture, tel que nous le concevions aussitôt après ma guerre de 40, soit devenu ce répugnant marigot de la spéculation." - Ladislas Kijno
"Le froissage est aveugle ; il connaît le lieu de son intervention mais il ignore sur quoi il opère : il ne sait pas ce qu’il froisse. Il tient du hasard, de l’intuition, de l’échec possible, d’une finalité aléatoire." - Raoul-Jean Moulin
"Ce n'est pas du tout dans ma démarche de prétendre laisser des traces. Simplement, peut-être quelques signes, quelques hiéroglyphes furtifs, comme les étoiles filantes dans une nuit du mois d'août. Je n'ai malheureusement pas le génie de Rimbaud pour laisser sur la Terre et dans le ciel les traces de « l'homme aux semelles de vent » dont parlait Verlaine." - Ladislas Kijno
