Art Movements Premium Stamp Set
under review
MysteriousB
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]

I think this is a nice idea, although I guess not every painting would look good as a small stamp, especially Renaissance.
Which paintings did you have in mind? Could you perhaps detail your suggestion and add pictures/links?

Beautiful design! There's a similar one under review, but I'd like to give your post a +1 still.

Kevin from Slowly: There can be 1 artwork from each country inside the package. We will be happy if Turkey is also included.

Love the idea! Will there be copyright issue? 🤔
MysteriousB
madcow.hk: I believe most of these should be royalty free maybe(?) otherwise as mentioned we could use the artist's face instead of a specific art piece.
