Description: This Listing is for ONE NEW Sheet of 20 Four Centuries of American Art 32¢ Stamps from 1998.Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-free and Pet-free Environment. On August 27, 1998, the U.S. Postal Service issued these Four Centuries of American Art gummed 32¢ stamps in Santa Clara, CA - the 6th issue in the Classic Collection. This sheet of 20 stamps features 21 of the most important and famous works of American Art produced in the last 400 years. Text on the back of each stamp describes the painting and artist. The Artist Sketching at Mount Desert, Maine by Sedford Gifford is depicted on the header. The American artists represented here were born in diverse places around this country, as well as elsewhere. Some were self-taught; others were academically trained. These images reflect some of the enduring themes in American visual arts: a concern with individuality in a democratic society, reverence for the variety of landscape across the continent, down-to-earth realism, and a recurring sense of optimism and energy. From the stark beginnings of colonial life to the vitality of modern abstraction, the stamp paintings include:"Portrait of Richard Mather" by John Foster;"Mrs. Elizabeth Freake and Baby Mary" by The Freake Limner;"Girl in Red Dress with Cat and Dog" by Ammi Phillips;"Rubens Peale with a Geranium" by Rembrandt Peale;"Long-billed Curlew, Numenius Longrostris" by John James Audubon;"Boatmen on the Missouri" by George Caleb Bingham;"Kindred Sprits" by Asher B.
