Our nation’s artistic endeavors, distinctly democratic and uniquely American, resonate internationally. A global audience enjoys our literature, films, and music, and our stamps further represent American diversity and creativity to the world.
Challenged to “work small,” stamp artists are restricted to a canvas no larger than four times the size of the final, printed stamp—even when the subject is a larger-than-life entertainment legend. The resulting works of art are therefore masterpieces in miniature, each one faithfully capturing the essence of a cultural icon.
