Description
This stamp pays tribute to Ammar Farhat (1911-1987), one of the pillars of the Tunis School. The portrait of the artist is accompanied by a reproduction of one of his emblematic works on an easel, representing a face with popular and expressive features. Farhat was famous for his ability to capture the soul of Tunisian society, its artisans and its daily scenes with great sensitivity. This program celebrates the anchoring of modern Tunisian painting in the social reality of the country and the institutional recognition of a self-taught artist who became a national icon.
