Modern Art - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 1982 - 4 Shilling

Ernst Fuchs describes the significance of the stamp in his childhood as the "little window into the big world". With his work designed for this special postage stamp, a small window opened on his art and art in general. The brand is the medium that is able to bring a small work of art as an original graphic work into the gaze of the gaze, and even in the access of the consumer, the artwork can arrive without being consumed. For the stamp on a stamp is the highest confirmation of the validity of the stamp. In the case of the stamp with his work "Mädchenkopf", Ernst Fuchs did not want to make a draft, but a stamp. So he decided to work on the small block of steel, and to make this mark in the manner of a brand-name engraver. So the draft had the same format as its execution in the special postage stamp and thus no oversize, which would have drawn possibly distorting reductions. Ernst Fuchs called the little head on this brand "Muse of the Republic". It was meant to give many people who would see it a musical occasion to study the artists among their contemporaries.
