Another FDC for a stamp featuring Josef Albers' artwork, to go with the 1980 US one I posted earlier in this thread. This one is for a stamp issued by Germany in 1993, with a really nice cachet mirroring Albers' style.  |

The best known painting of Prof.Walter Womacka: "Am Strand" (on the beach) from 1962. The painting has an interesting history: When first shown,critics were quite unfavourable. However when it was exhibited on the 5th German Art Exhibition 1962/63 in Dresden,it was voted by 63% of the visitors as the best painting of the exhibition. In 1963 the painting was given as a birthday-present by the SED-politbureau to Walter Ulbricht on his 70th. Ulbricht gave it later to the Museum of New Masters as a loan. In 1990,when the West took over,it was taken down and not shown any more. When in 2018 it was shown again,again a popular vote put it on the first place of paintings to be shown permanently in the Abertina in Dresden. When the painting was given to Walter Ulbricht,Womacka painted a second,near identical version for the
Museum o New Masters. In the 1960th about 3 millions reproductions of the painting were printed and sold. Quite a number of them to France,the US and other western countries.
