Georg Baselitz
Searching for alternatives to the two strands dominating painting at the beginning of his career, Eastern-Bloc Socialist Realism and Western abstraction, Baselitz became interested in art outside of these mainstreams.

This innovation enabled him to emphasise the abstract qualities of his compositions while retaining the psychological charge of their figurative subject matter.
In 2005 Baselitz began to ‘Remix’ a number of his earlier works. He returned to key phases of his own art history and made new, reimagined versions of important earlier images.

Stamp by Georg Baselitz
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.
