Stamp Release: Great Film Directors

Released today, this 4-block issue celebrates some great American directors as well as an inset of their most famous movies. I'm particularily fond of John Ford and John Huston's stamps. I think the art was very successful here. I wish they were issued larger. These paintings have a lot of great faceting and design that I'd like to really be able to see. That's the line you walk with stamps though- beautiful art on a tiny reproduction. You can read more about the art and ideas behind these stamps at Beyond the Perf.
