He studied drawing at the Academy Julian in 1918, saw Suzanne Valadon and Max Jacob regularly, visited Raoul Dufy in his studio, but he gave up the art to work in the domestic company (trade in wines).

Stamp by Jean Dubuffet
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 Jean Dubuffet
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Jean Dubuffet, atteint d’une cruelle maladie, travailla jusqu’à l’épuisement de ses forces. Pendant l'hiver, il dessine et rédige dans l’urgence sa « Biographie au pas de course ». Il meurt à Paris le 12 mai 1985 à l’âge de 83 ans. Il repose au cimetière de Tubersent (Commune d’Etaples, près du Touquet, Pas-de-Calais, 62).En hommage à sa mémoire, nous déposons sur sa tombe une reine marguerite.
"Le vrai art, il est toujours là où on ne l'attend pas." - Jean Dubuffet
"La fonction de l'artiste consiste, autant qu'à créer des images, à les nommer." - Jean Dubuffet
"L'art ne vient pas se coucher dans les lits qu'on a faits pour lui ; il se sauve aussitôt qu'on prononce son nom. Ce qu'il aime, c'est l'incognito, ses meilleurs moments sont quand il oublie comment il s'appelle." - Jean Dubuffet
"L'homme écrit sur le sable. Moi ça me convient bien ainsi ; l'effacement ne me contrarie pas ; à marée descendante, je recommence." - Jean Dubuffet
"Je ressens peu de goût pour ces morgues d’embaumement, des citadelles de la culture mandarine, que sont les musées." - Jean Dubuffet
"Le noir est une abstraction. Il n'y a pas de noir, il y a des matières noires." - Jean Dubuffet
