Issue:
As
Main Topic: I think that Paintings will be
the one, and inside it, one could identify: Uruguayan Paintings or
Uruguayan Painters,
and of course in particular the two painters selected by this release
that are: Ernesto
Laroche and
Pedro Blanes Viale,
and it respective Paintings: "El Pozo", in
english "Well Fountain"
and "Retrato de María de
Castro de Figari", in english "Portrait of María de Castro de
Figari".
Then, also a wider Topic as Art,
or two more precise as Oil
Painting or
Uruguayan Painters of Beginnings of XX Century, could be
selected as Main Topics too.
Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings:
I think Personalities
as one topic itself, and the Personality of each of the Painters Ernesto Laroche and Pedro Blanes Viale could
be others included in the release. Then also Genre Art and Landscape Painting
could be also identified, as there were the main topics of both Artist
selected in this release.
Now,
regarding the desing of the stamps:
As the stamps only have in common the way that they are diagrammed, the
design will be described in section that talk of each stamp, however,
one topic could be added to the whole serie that is the Museums and also Pictures, as both
stamps were designed using Pictures
courtesy of the Museo
Nacional de Artes Visuales (MNAV), that in english means Visual Arts National Museum.
Finally, in a more symbolic way: First, taking a wide
view, this Annual series
of Painters, that the post office is releasing since 2010
has the intention to put Paintings
and Art as relevant part of our Culture and our Nationality.
Then, the
selection of this particular two Painters that have many
things
in common, shows also an intention to give more visibility
this
year to the Uruguayan
Oil Painters or
Uruguayan Painters of Beginnings of XX Century.
Stamp 1:
The
Stamp 1: Through the beautiful Painting of Ernesto Laroche, add
mainly the connection with Flora
or Vegetables,
and more precise ones Trees
and Grass
Topics, as they are the most visible elements in the Painting Scene,
however, although not seen easily, the Well Fountain of Concrete that gives
the title to this Artwork,
also mades this particular Stamp, and by extenstion the release, useful
for rather popular collection about Water,
or more precise ones as Spring
Waters, Well
Fountains itself, and perhaps also Technology or Primitive Technology
or Architecture.
In a more deep perspective, from the Painting Scene, feelings like Peace, Tranquility, Bliss, and perhaps a
bit of Solitude,
could appear, making the stamp useful in a rather unlikely Emotions Collection.
Stamp 2:
The
Stamp 2: Shows a completely different Scene, through the
Painting "Retrato de
María de Castro de Figari" from Pedro Blanes Viale.
In this case we change from an Outdoor
Scene to an Indoor
Scene, and from a Landscape
Painting to a Genre
Art, more in particular a Portrait.
In the scene, as it is a Portrait,
the main purpose is to show the person that is being portrayed, in this
case, María de Castro de
Figari, that was the spouse of the famous Uruguayan Painter Pedro Figari, and
mother of another Uruguayan
Painter Juan
Carlos Figari.
This woman, María de
Castro de Figari, was portrayed wearing a splendid Dress in light blue Silk, with a yellow Flower attached to
it, and having a Fan
in her right Hand
and over her Lap.
She is sitting over a sophisticated Sofa
made in Carved Wood
with a nice designed Upholstery.
Over the Sofa
there is also a Pair of Gloves,
probably part of María Dress,
and a Cushion.
The scene is completed by a fine Flower
Pot, with a plenty of Blue
Flowers.
Block:
The
block: Clearly reinforce the Painting and Arts Topic, and also
add the objects Paintbrush
and Painter Palette
as these two ones are included in icon used to show the ink colours
used in the printing of the stamps.
FDC:
The
desing of the First Day Cancelation: Also Reinforces
the Painting
and Arts
Topic, and in particular the Paintbrush
element, as two of these items took almost all of the cancelation
design.
If you consider that there are another topics in
this
stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling
me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would
appreciate your help very much.
