Stamp by Stanley-William Hayter
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 Stanley-William Hayter
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Le peintre anglais, graveur de génie, Stanley William Hayter s’éteint le 4 mai 1988 à Paris. Il avait 87 ans. La même année le British Museum acquiert la totalité de son oeuvre gravé. On dit que la nuit précédant sa mort, il sortit pour dîner avec des amis. L’artiste a choisi d’être incinéré. En hommage à sa mémoire, nous déposons une pensée, rue Cassini à Paris sur Seine.
"Le visage de Hayter semblait gravé en chair plutôt que sculpté. Comme si chaque ligne qu'il avait incisée dans le cuivre s'était en même temps gravée sur son visage." - Anaïs Nin
"Les séjours à Alba ont exercé quelque influence sur Hayter, et d'abord physique : l'air et les divers parfums des arbres et des fleurs le ravivent après la vie citadine au long de laquelle il a respiré, avec ardeur d'ailleurs, l'odeur des acides et des encres." - Georges Limbour
"Hayter est reconnu comme le père de la gravure contemporaine, et son « Atelier 17 » de New York comme de Paris, doit être considéré comme l’atelier de gravure le plus influent du monde." - Art in America
"Hayter était toujours patient avec ses élèves et ne leur imposait rien." - Roger Vieillard
"Toute notre perception nous atteint en termes de rythme; la douce révolution des saisons, le battement du coeur, les micro-courants dans le vent, les vibrations des ondes du son et de la lumière." - Stanley William Hayter
"Tous ceux à qui il transmit un champ énormément varié des techniques de l'estampe et de la gravure, primèrent pour longtemps le fait de considérer Bill Hayter comme un ami loyal, tant était exceptionnelle la chaleur de sa personnalité, son humour, sa tolérance et sa décontraction, contrebalançant les critiques dictées par son professionnalisme." - David Gascoyne
