About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021).

First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Great American Stamp Show in Hartford, Connecticut.
About the Autumn Colors set: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Each photograph was taken at a different location across the United States, a perfect way to emphasize the nationwide beauty of autumn.
History the stamp represents: The colors of changing leaves in autumn have been inspiring artists of all mediums for hundreds of years. Countless artists have put brush to canvas to portray their version of autumn, but there are some that stand out from the crowd…
Claude Monet was best known for his water lily paintings, but he also painted Autumn on the Seine at Argenteuil in 1873. The painting pictures Château Michelet and other buildings in Monet’s unique style that blurred the lines between land and water.
Vincent Van Gogh also tried his hand at an autumn painting in The Garden of Saint Paul’s Hospital (‘Leaf-Fall’) (1889). The work pictures splashes of color indicating leaves being blown about by an autumn breeze. Van Gogh was said to be inspired by techniques of Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin in this work.
While Monet and Van Gogh chose to portray the scenes in a more realistic manner, other artists were far more abstract in their representations of the season. For example, Jackson Pollock’s Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) is one of his famous “drip” paintings, which features numerous splashes of paint across the canvas in different colors.
Autumn foliage never ceases to amaze. It’s sure to be the subject of many more paintings by many talented artists as time goes on.
