From May 1979 to March 1983, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued 16 "Modern Art Series" stamps (2 types each). Modern art is a work of art such as thoughts and styles that emphasizes the spirit of experimentation and attempts to break away from the traditional art styles of the past. In art history, modern art is said to have its origins in Post-Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, which tried to escape from the realistic early Impressionism, and symbolism, which tried to escape from realism. Generally recognized are works produced between the 1860s and 1970s.
