Stamp by André Dunoyer de Segonzac
fictional 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 André Dunoyer de Segonzac
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
André Albert Marie Dunoyer de Segonzac s’est éteint le 17 septembre 1974 à Paris, il avait 90 ans. Il repose, face à la baie de Sainte-Maxime, dans le petit cimetière marin de Saint Tropez (Var). Comme Paul Signac, Matisse, Marquet, Henri Manguin - qui repose également dans ce cimetière - ou Pierre Bonnard, Dunoyer de Segonzac succomba au charme de ce joli village de bord de méditerranéen. Sur les rochers où bat la mer, en hommage à sa mémoire, les humbles fleurs du cinéraire.
"J’aime me recueillir et travailler dans la solitude et le calme des paysages d’hiver que j’ai toujours préférés dans leur gravité et l’éclat du soleil d’été. André Dunoyer de Segonzac" - André Dunoyer de Segonzac
"J’occupais une modeste chambre sans plancher ni carrelage, et, chaque matin, je partais travailler de bonne heure dans la campagne après avoir chargé mon matériel de peintre sur une brouette." - André Dunoyer de Segonzac
"Vers 1935-1945, j'ai compris que ma peinture n'était plus de mode et j'ai cessé désormais de montrer mes toiles, me consacrant surtout à l'illustration de livres." - André Dunoyer de Segonzac
"Dunoyer de Segonzac enracine ses ruraux dans des lieux aux rudes couleurs chaudes, rouges et brunes, à tel point qu'on a dit qu'il « transportait la terre sur ses toiles »." - Claude-Georges Mallet
"C'est la partie graphique de mon œuvre qui m'a permis de vivre sans immoler mes convictions au goût du jour." - André Dunoyer de Segonzac
"C'était à la fin de sa vie, quand il se rendait sur le motif, le conducteur le plus lent du village. Tout tassé sur le siège de sa «traction», on ne voyait que son chapeau de paille, il se laissait dépasser parfois par un cycliste avant de s'arrêter au pied de la Citadelle et sortir du coffre de la voiture un petit pliant et un minuscule carnet de croquis." - Henri Lameyre, Musée de l'annonciade, St Tropez
Notes of biography
André Dunoyer de Segonzac was born in Boussy-Sainte-Antoine (Essonne) in 1884. From 1900, he studied in various public schools or private ones, he visited several atelier (Luc Olivier Merson, Jean-Paul Laurens), worked to the Academy de la Palette (1905). Dunoyer de Segonzac had worked since 1906. Two years later, he exhibited in Parisian Salons (Salon d’Automne, Salon of the Independent Artists). In 1908, he rented a house belonging to Paul Signac and thus discovered the landscapes of St Tropez, village at the edge of the Mediterranean to which he remained faithful and where he lived, at the beautiful season, until the end of his life.
However, the artist had a wandering life, always looking for the motif, especially throughout the Ile de France. Dunoyer became acquainted with Max Jacob, Dufy, Vlaminck. He travelled, visited Italy, Spain, North Africa (1913). His first personal exhibition was organized in 1914 in Paris. The war took him; he was affected, like numerous artists, in a section which had been just created: camouflage. He brought back from war an important work and gripping studies.
After the end of the war, his work was again exhibited in the most important Parisian Salons. In 1919, Dunoyer de Segonzac learnt the etching technique in order to illustrate “Les Croix de bois” from Roland Dorgeles; as an instinctive skill, he became quickly Master of the technique. He carried out in 1920, his first watercolours. These two new passions - etching and watercolours - hold an important place in his whole future work.
In 1921, he made friends with Valéry, Leon-Paul Fargue, Larbaud, Jean Cocteau. He bought in St Tropez, with Villeboeuf and Luc-Albert Moreau, a property which belonged to Camoin. In 1930, with Derain, he was bound by a new friendship. Dunoyer travelled again (America, Germany, Austria, etc). He exhibited in France and abroad, received prizes (Biennial of Venice in 1937). His work will obtain a constant success which never stopped, even after his death : numerous posthumous retrospectives have been organized.
Dunoyer de Segonzac carried out decorations and costumes for the theatre, illustrated many literary works (Carco, Dorgeles, Tristan Bernard, Paul Morand, Jules Romains, etc). Moreover he published a lot his etchings. Dunoyer de Segonzac’s work was multiple : drawings, etchings (approximately 2000), illustrations, watercolours, paintings (painting that he had practised only episodically since 1925).
André Dunoyer de Segonzac died in Paris in 1974. He rests in St Tropez.
Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
