Stamp by Moïse Kisling
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 Moïse Kisling
Le peintre juif polonais, qui obtiendra la nationalité française à l’issue de la guerre de 14-18, Moïse Kisling s’est éteint le 29 avril 1953 à Sanary-sur-Mer (Var, France) où il vivait ; il avait 62 ans. Il repose dans le vieux cimetière de cette petite ville de bord de Méditerranée. En hommage à sa mémoire, nous déposons sur sa tombe un oeillet, la même fleur que nous avions déposé sur la tombe de Julius Pascin, son meilleur ami.
"Moïse Kisling, Utrillo, Soutine et Survage. Leur amitié était faite d'affinités de déracinés, de compagnonnage affectif, et non d'échanges intellectuels ou de recherches communes, comme le furent les relations Derain-Vlaminck ou Picasso-Braque." - Françoise Cachin
"Il y a dans le regard de ses femmes les plus pulpeuses, les plus rayonnantes, une tristesse juive qui vous serre le cœur. Ce que leurs lèvres promettent, leurs yeux le démentent. C’est à la fois la fête de la chair et le désespoir du monde." - Henry Troyat
"Je prétends arriver un jour à pouvoir suggérer, devant un nu, l'idée d'un corps d'une courtisane ou d'une mondaine." - Moïse Kisling
"La peinture doit chanter. Baudelaire n'affirme-t-il pas qu'un coloriste est un poète épique !" - Moïse Kisling
"Cet art sensuel, élégant et dynamique, n’est pas exempt d’une certaine mélancolie proche de celle de Modigliani." - Sara Nathan
"Peu à peu, sans que le sentiment de pitié fraternelle qui l’anime, ait été réduit le moins du monde, le peintre est devenu celui de la joie de vivre." - André Salmon
Notes of biography
Moise Kisling was born in 1891 in Krakow, Poland. From a young age, he attends the School of Fine Arts in his hometown. He trains under the painter Pankiewicz, a representative of impressionism. Pankiewicz’s quickly realizes the talent of his brilliant student, and directs him towards Paris.
Moise Kisling arrives in the French capital in 1910. It’s a time where the country is in great intellectual anxiety. The artist is attracted by sorrowful figures. It’s the beginning of the war. Kisling, on the first day, enlists in the Foreign Legion; wounded, he acquires French nationality in 1914. He has already developed his own way to express himself pictorially.
His studio, immediately after the war, becomes an extraordinary meeting place for artists; Derain and Modigliani frequent his studio where a contemporary spirit reigns, but also writers such as Max Jacob, Jean Cocteau and Raymond Radiguet. Little by little, with only the sentiment of fraternal pity, soon disappears; Kisling becomes a painter of “joie de vivre”. His first solo exhibition is organized in Paris in 1919 at the Druet Gallery. Moise Kisling will exhibit in most of the Parisien Salons at this time, he will equally participate in numerous exhibitions abroad.
The artist paints lovely nudes and Mediterranean landscapes. Kisling will again serve France in the second world war, before he leaves for California. He returns to Paris in 1946. The art of Kisling has a particularity of not being of any style, man defying himself! The artist, passionate, brings to his creation sumptuousness of color, richness of material, and an artistic care of dealing with his subjects. A retrospective of his work was organized in 1984 at the National Gallery of the Grand Palais in Paris.
Moise Kisling died in 1953 in Sanary-sur-mer, in the Var, in southern France.
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.
