	Peter Frank: Postal Modernism. Artists' Stamps and Stamp Images
		The artists' stamps considered here are not recognized as valid by any post office although several artists have pulled fast ones and gotten their mail through with their own stamps (or with painted or drawn replicas of regular stamps).
		The appropriation of the postage stamp format by artists is natural enough: the format is closely related in its imagistic, even heraldic aspects to various concerns of the traditional pictorial arts, and as issued by various lands has contributed to these concerns.
		There are other early examples of handrendered stamps; all of those of any wide repute, at least, postdate the war and did not come to any sort of renown until the last decade, when the artist's stamp format was isolated as an area of endeavor.
