Tribute to Henri Rousseau
The French painter Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (1844-1910) was always valued by other artists but unterrated by art critics.

Because “one aspect that distinguishes the creative postal network from other artistic movements, schools or groups (including Fluxus) is the way it disregards and circumvents the commercial art market”. (Wikipedia) Maya López Muro of the Il Graffiacielo Art Studio in Italy, César Reglero CamposContinue reading “Make Art (Distribution) cheaper”
