I was looking through a Kinetic Art and Op Art catalogue and discovered the art of Auguste Herbin. Here is some of his painting from the 1950s and 1960s. He co-founded the groups Abstraction-Création and Salon des Réalités Nouvelles which promoted non-figurative abstract art.

Design can bring beauty, organisation and a sense of calmness, it can bring destruction, hatred and spread propaganda. Supermarkets are the design museums of the present and the museums are the documentation of the past.

I started collecting Cinderella Stamps. (In philately, a cinderella stamp is "virtually anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration".) These small but striking pieces of ephemera all date within the 1960s.
