Why not create a series of classic movie stamps, from Marvel & DC movies, to oldies like Death On the Nile, Mary Poppins, Sound of Music etc. I would love to collect those!

What is the set? A set which celebrates and showcases some of the art movements in the western world. Why this set? A lot of slowly users appreciate art. I believe with the new slowly feature of showing favourite stamps, having a stamp that looks like a work of art would be superb to see. It will also add a great discussion point for new connections as people can talk about their favourite artist and maybe about their own art! What will bring the set together? The usual stamp border will be in gold so that the design on each stamp looks like it is being framed. Each stamp can either feature a painting that is emblematic of the movement or feature an artist of that movement. See the Starry Sky by Van Gogh example with this Stamp Request! What/who should be featured in the set? Romanticism There are a lot of key artists here, it may be best to review some of the more iconic art pieces such as Wanderer over the sea of fog, Liberty leading the people, The 3rd of May 1808 Renaissance Leonardo Da Vinci is a clear influence here with famous works like Mona Lisa or the Vitruvian Man. Surrealism Salvador Dali is an excellent artist of surrealism, melting clocks would be an iconic piece. We could also consider Son of Man by René Magritte. Pop Art Andy Warhol is the most iconic of this style, I believe the four tone Marilyn Monroe or “Slowly” soup can would be the most iconic and would look great on profiles/letters. Expressionism Van Gogh is a key painter of this style, any of his works could work here including starry night and sunflowers would work superbly. How will it be released? As a premium stamp set for 100, maximum 6 stamps in the set. When will it be released? World Art History Day (April 15th) Inktober (October) [Art is heavily featured on social media] Mermay (May) [Another month of art being actively shared on social media] Leave a comment with how you could improve this stamp set and nay suggestions for other art movements, artists and art that could be featured in the set!

Oracle bone inscriptions are an ancient Chinese script, also known as "Qiwen", "Yin ruins" or "tortoise shell and animal bone inscriptions". It was first found by the villagers of Xiaotun Village in Anyang, Henan Province. It is the earliest known mature Chinese characters, mainly referring to the characters engraved on tortoise shells or animal bones by the royal family in the late Shang Dynasty of China for fortunetelling and recording. It is a carrier of the earliest known systematic writing of the Shang Dynasty in China and East Asia. On November 24, 2017, Oracle bone inscriptions successfully passed the evaluation of UNESCO's International Advisory Committee for the Memory of the World Project and were successfully included in the Memory of the World Register.

Dark and feminine. She's mad and I love her

It would be great to have a stamp of the typical instrument of Cuba in the "Sound of the world" series, the Cuban Tres. El tres cubano es un instrumento cordófono, derivado de la guitarra, que surgió en la isla de Cuba, más específicamente en las zonas rurales del oriente cubano. Una de las referencias más antiguas de este instrumento, es la de los carnavales de Santiago de Cuba en 1892, cuando Nené Manfugás bajó desde los campos de Baracoa con «un instrumento rústico de tres cuerdas dobles y una caja de madera llamado tres». El Tres tiene seis cuerdas de acero agrupadas en tres pares y es la base armónica y melódica de los conjuntos de sones y del punto guajiro. Thanks for your hard work!

Its about Jamini Roy. (born April 11, 1887, Baliatore, India—died April 24, 1972, Calcutta [now Kolkata]), one of the best-known Indian artists of the 20th century. In the late 1920s and early ’30s he rejected his academic training and instead developed a linear, decorative, colourful style based on Bengali folk traditions. During the 1930s and ’40s the popularity of his paintings represented the passage of modern Indian art from its European academic leanings to a renewed interest in traditional iconography and abstract forms. Roy’s subject matter ranged from the Ramayana to Christ to portraits of contemporary figures such as Mahatma Gandhi. Need more Indian Artist who are popular through worldwide

I think a special stamp in honor of Ballet Day would be a great idea! However, I imagine that a series of stamps inspired by classic ballet pieces, such as “Giselle”, “Swan Lake”, “The Nutcracker”, “Coppélia”, “Sleeping Beauty” and many others, would be even more enchanting. As a lover of stories, I was enchanted by the series of short story stamps that are now available on the app. For ballet enthusiasts, this collection would be a fun and creative way to celebrate this beautiful art!
