Postal block "ART vs WAR. James Colomina"
The postage block "ART vs WAR. James Colomina" is a real symphony of protest, engraved in stamps. This is not just an issue, but the voice of struggle, breaking through time and space. In a world where war leaves wounds, philately becomes a silent but powerful witness of the era.
The three stamps of this block are like three cries in the silent darkness. They belong to a collection of stamps from the war period, which become symbols of resistance, memory and hope. On each of them are red sculptures by the French artist James Colomina, speaking with the voices of those who were forced to be silent. The rich red color is like the red-hot blood of history, burning in memories and engraved in philatelic relics.
The first image is a child in a gas mask. She is like a ghost of the future, suffocating from the smoke of burnt dreams. It reminds us of the toxicity of war, which seeps into life, destroying childhood, hope, the very essence of humanity. The second sculpture is a man reaching for peace through the ruins, as if trying to cling to the remnants of hope. And the third is a mysterious figure frozen in a premonition of the inevitable. It silently testifies: war destroys not only cities, but also breaks the spirit, leaving scars in the minds of generations.
The design of the postal block was created by Konstantin Lapushen, masterfully combining art with the philosophy of resistance. The circulation is 109,600 copies, and each of them is not just a postage stamp, but a historical document that will be kept in philatelic collections around the world. Collecting such issues is more than a hobby, it is a way to preserve the memory of the struggle and indomitability of the human spirit.
This postal block is more than a collector's item. It is a call for solidarity, a symbol of hope and an uncompromising gesture for humanity in a world seeking healing. It will go down in philatelic history as one of the most powerful stamped manifestos of our time.
