A First Day Cover (FDC) is an envelope or card to which a new stamp is affixed and canceled on the first official day of issue . Artist-signed copies—like this one—are extremely rare and highly sought-after.
Pictured is the work "Pour un Timbre 1986." The composition displays Soulages's signature play of light and darkness, executed in deep shades of violet, blue, and black. His masterful use of color and texture lends the work an almost architectural depth, in which the light seems to be captured and reflected.
Pierre Soulages (1919–2022) was one of the most important French artists of the 20th century. Known as the "Master of Black," he developed the concept of outrenoir—paintings in which black is understood not as the absence of light, but as a means of making light itself visible.
The work has been expertly framed , floating on linen, in a custom-made, acid-free mount, in a hand-crafted, white wooden frame with Plexiglas® Optical HC – scratch-resistant and UV-protected.
Frame size: approx. 44 × 54 cm
