Stamp by Evelyn Gerbaud
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!

Painter, engraver, lithographer, Evelyn Gerbaud is born in Paris in 1950. She trains at the Superior National School of Fine Art in Paris. She is, since several years now, a member of the Steering Committee of the May Salon. In 1975, she creates, with Patrick Devreux, the Workshop and the editions of St Christol de Rodières; this workshop specializing in the art of lithography as engraving, is still alive today and it is good to mention it. In addition, the artist is an associate of the ink “Passage” review and the “Voix d'encre” editions (since 2005).
Evelyn Gerbaud exhibits since the 60s. Regarding the last decade, she has shown her work in numerous solo exhibitions in France (in Paris) and abroad (Switzerland, Sweden, Holland, Japan, Belgium), also she is also involved in many group Exhibitions and Salons (Salon de Mai, of course, but also Salon of New Realities in Paris, Salon of Marne la Vallee, International Art Junction of Nice, Artenîmes or Salon of Angers). Her work is found in public collections such as the Print Cabinet of the France National Library and the Museum of St Remy of Provence.
When Evelyn Gerbaud is asked to mention some artists who inhabit the corner of her head, she replies, almost instantly, Edvard Hopper, Balthus, Gérard Bru and Jean Rustin, then P. Sallammahti and also Sarah Moon for photography.
By secret “images” where the human blends with the plant and animal worlds, the work of Evelyn Gerbaud talks about the depths of Being, of its black face as well as its white face, of the kind of pitching of the soul between dream and nightmare. This is about metamorphosis, buried visions that resurfaced, of suggested material, of shadow and light, nudity and the unknown. Between abstraction and reality, each work tells an independent story or, perhaps, tells another episode of a single and same “fantastic” story. “Art becomes heaven-earth, intimate combination of light and shadow in order to locate the here or there - but never elsewhere - of the opening of the world.“ writes Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret.
Evelyn Gerbaud paints, engraves, and inscribes her mysterious drawing on the lithography stone. She likes to confront the difficult art of monotype: “That slow walk, aided by the palm, fingers and brushes; gradually materialize the coveted image. One must quickly capture it, makes it one’s own, and retains its own impatience and fears until leaving the press. So sometimes from that long wandering, we bring back to the surface something that still escapes us again: resurgence of fugues images, accumulation of cultures, of broken dreams and secrets landscapes.” she writes.
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.
