Description
This stamp pays tribute to Ali Guermassi (1923-1992), an essential figure in Tunisian painting. The painting depicts the interior of a traditional weaving workshop, with an artisan at his loom, a child at a spinning wheel and visitors.
Guermassi excels in capturing the subdued light of the Medina workshops. Weaving is magnified here as an art of patience and transmission. The work testifies to the artist's attachment to documenting artistic professions threatened by modernity, giving them eternal dignity.
