Serge Charchoune
The meaning of painting in its own history is essential for its development.
Serge Charchoune was born in 1888 in Bougourouslan, Russian, a small town west of the Ural mountains where he spent his childhood. Son of a fabric trader, he was an average student. Charchoune discovers painting during the strikes that shatter Russia in 1905. He wants to study art but does not pass his entry exam to the Fine Arts School of Kazan. He leaves for Moscow in 1909, he works in . . .

Stamp by Serge Charchoune
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 Serge Charchoune
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Serge Charchoune, le peintre d’origine russe venu en France en 1912, s’éteint à Villeneuve-Saint Georges le 24 novembre 1975, il avait 87 ans. Il repose dans le cimetière russe de Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois (Essone, 91). En son hommage, avec respect, nous déposons une fleur, amaryllis rouge, sur sa tombe.
"Charchoune a tout inventé et c’est peut-être aussi parce que ses intuitions géniales ont été exploitées par d’autres qu’il est le plus grand de nous tous et cela il faudra bien le reconnaître un jour." - Nicolas de Staël
"Charchoune s'est laissé oublier." - André Breton
"La peinture de Charchoune est une musique toute de finesse, elle joue sur les rapports subtils de demi-tons, de quart-de-tons, elle est parfaitement invisible dans les reproductions en noir et blanc." - Nicolas de Staël
"Il est aussi difficile de disserte sur la peinture de Serge Charchoune que sur celle de Corot, …, elles présentent des caractères communs qui tiennent à une certaine analogie des deux artistes : sérénité poétique de l’œuvre, égale modestie des auteurs et même refus de sacrifier à une mode." - Maurice Allemand, conservateur du Musée de Saint-Etienne
"Charchoune, on me donne sept lignes pour vous définir. J’aimerais mieux cinq mots, je dirais : vous avez de la noblesse et cela devrait suffire pour attirer l’attention des amateurs sur ces œuvres cristallines ou chaudes, discrètes, mélodiques, sensibles et intelligentes." - Amédée Ozenfant
"L’oeuvre de Charchoune est un itinéraire dont la qualité première est l’indépendance." - Michel Guinle
