The French sculptor, Jacques Lehmann Nam (1881-1974), more famous for his cat art, was celebrated on this stamp featuring a bronze chimpanzee, sent to me on an envelope from Fabienne.
The stamp is part of a set titled Animals in Art, issued in 2013.
Not an artist I was familiar with but I like in his cat obsession he uses a variety of painting styles. Nice link I could be clicking in there for hours:) Love the stamp set theme.
Great sculpture and stamp by a J.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI had never seen these stamps. I guess you were delighted with Fabienne's choice :)
ReplyDeleteI was, however I really like all of them.
DeleteThe link shows some lovely cat drawings :)
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that, except for the snake, all these animals are posing to the left.
I like left-facing stamps, they always seem to be 'interested' in the addressee, rather than gazing off the envelope into nowhere :)

ReplyDeleteI know, it is a fun site, isn't it.
