| Stamp description | of the theme dedicated to Masters of Painting, the philatelic issue depicts three works by Paul Klee (1879-1940): Warning of the Ships (1917), Senecio (1922), Beautiful Gardener (1939). An exponent of abstraction, he considered art a discourse on reality and not its simple reproduction. His painting marked the beginning of one of the highest and most fruitful artistic expressions of the 20th century and his untiring research is also evident in his choice of media (from canvas to newspaper, jute and cards). € 1.10 Paul Klee: Ship Sirens.
