Un balcon en forêt

Henri Matisse, Open Window, Collioure, 1905

I’ve never really been a stamp collector (it’s mainly the Bergman related stamps here: Cries And Whispers and also Torment, Bergman’s first film as a writer I was interested in of course) but I do kind of love stamps and their graphical qualities and how photographic images are rendered into lines and hatching as they are here.
