Description
This stamp pays tribute to the artist Azzouz Ben Raïs (1915-1996), member of the School of Tunis, by reproducing a scene from Tunisian daily life. The work depicts a lively street where silhouettes draped in traditional clothing (burnous and safsaris) circulate between trees and whitewashed architecture. This show promotes Tunisian figurative painting which captures the peaceful atmosphere and special light of historic districts. It celebrates the country's urban identity and the preservation of a traditional social aesthetic within the artistic modernity of the 20th century.
