Mein Interesse an Schweizer Kunst ist sehr leidenschaftlich. Cuno Amiet, Augusto Giacometti, Félix Vallotton sowie Giovanni Giacometti sind wichtige Künstler für mich. Seit einiger Zeit sind auch Vater Carl August Liner und Sohn Carl Walter Liner in mein Forschungsfeld getreten. Sehr spannende Anfänge haben sich mit den beiden in der Schweizer Kunstgeschichte aufgetan. Und ich bin ganz erfreut zu bemerken, das Carl August Liner auch Briefmarken gestaltet hat. Auf Auktionen http://www.galeriewidmer.com
ReplyDeletehaben ich schon viele Werke von den beiden Künstlern Carl August Liner und Carl Walter Liner begutachten dürfen, nun werde ich nach den Briefmarken Ausschau halten.
Good Night...
DeleteThank you for your kind comment...I am not an Art expert or even an Art student...My only goal with this blog was to give some visibility to those who are hidden behind the small pieces of Art we collect in our hobby...there are in fact many known Artists who in a given moment of their life's have designed stamps, contributing with original works,drawings or paintings...and I am sure that this part of their professional life's is sometimes neglected,only having value among Postage Stamp Collectors... the blog is now in a "standby" Mode , waiting for me to have more time to continue this research project... I would like to have other conditions to make this blog and I think that it's goal deserve them , but I have to live with the total indifference of great part of my hobby colleagues and always have a smile on my face , because this is for the moment a pioneer project (made at a global scale)... but in the end , messages like your's give me an "extra boost" of energy to keep doing what I must do... Yes , I'm now going to do another post !!! Thank you, again...!!
