Legendary Artist Emilio Sanchez Honored Forever Postage StampsThe Postal Service is pleased to salute Emilio Sanchez, an artist best known for his brilliant collection of architectural paintings and lithographs, said USPS Board of Governors Vice Chairman Roman Martinez IV, who noted Sanchez is the first Cuban American artist to have his work honored on a U. S. postage stamp. Today happens to be the centennial of his birth, a perfect occasion to honor the man whose masterful works can be found in the permanent

    “The Postal Service is pleased to salute Emilio Sanchez, an artist best known for his brilliant collection of architectural paintings and lithographs,” said USPS Board of Governors Vice Chairman Roman Martinez IV, who noted Sanchez is the first Cuban American artist to have his work honored on a U.S. postage stamp.

    “Today happens to be the centennial of his birth, a perfect occasion to honor the man whose masterful works can be found in the permanent collections of museums and universities around the world,” Martinez said.

    Joining Martinez at the dedication ceremony were Erik Stapper, trustee, Emilio Sanchez Foundation; Elizabeth Goizueta, author and lecturer, Romance languages and literature, and adjunct curator, McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College; Victor Deupi, senior lecturer, University of Miami School of Architecture; Jill Deupi, Beaux Arts director and chief curator for the Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami; and Richard Blanco, 2013 presidential inaugural poet for President Barack Obama, memoirist, and associate professor, Florida International University.

    “We are celebrating the first day of issue of stamps that honor Emilio Sanchez, my client who about 25 years ago gave me a simple estate planning instruction: ‘Make me famous,’” said Erik Stapper, trustee, Emilio Sanchez Foundation. “Can there be a better birthday gift for our Cuban American immigrant friend than millions of new images by Emilio offered for sale at our local Post Offices? Each of those millions of images has a printed line that will serve as my words of welcome: Emilio Sanchez Forever USA.”

    “This is a tremendous accomplishment, particularly given how long he had been largely overlooked by the art community,” said Victor Deupi, a Cuban American teacher of architectural history at the University of Miami. “It’s a wonderful honor on many fronts because it gives so many voices to people of different races and ethnic backgrounds.”

    Sanchez explored the effects of light and shadow in his art to emphasize the abstract geometry of his subjects. His artwork encompasses his Cuban heritage as well as his long life in New York City.

    Combining naturalism and abstraction, Sanchez’s architectural paintings and lithographs are not precise renderings but rather subjective interpretations of reality. Each work often depicts a single building. All extraneous details have been stripped away, although sometimes he highlights a specific feature, such as a balustrade, arched doorway or balcony. Strong light and deep shadows play across each building’s facade, delineating and emphasizing its abstract geometry without ever obscuring its true character.

    His early subjects included houses and other buildings in Mexico, the Caribbean and the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen in 1968. However, he remained especially drawn to Cuban architecture, which features a rich mix of Victorian, colonial and rustic rural styles.

    By the 1970s, Sanchez had widened his focus to include buildings in Morocco and in other Mediterranean countries. He also found continued inspiration in the cityscape of New York, which became more prevalent in his works of the 1980s and 1990s.

    Antonio Alcalá served as art director and designer for the Emilio Sanchez stamps, which are being issued as Forever stamps. These Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.

    The selvage features a photograph of Sanchez taken by Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte in June 1993. In the photograph, Sanchez sketches at the drawing table in his New York City loft studio.

    Easy use, easy grasp salt and pepper grinders
    Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
    Wish I got these earlier as well! Easy to use, easy to fill, easy to charge. Seems quite durable and quality is high, not cheap or pkasticky. Easy to grab unit and press button to dispense. The battery charge life seems long lasting esp since we use these every day for meals. Highly recommend!

    Stylish and very nice
    Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
    I opened it up and charged it and it works well only thing I did not like is the knob for the grinding method doesn’t stop so you really don’t know what it’s on until you grind. Other than that it would get 5 stars if it was made a little better on the grinding selection

    Absolutely love these!
    Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel, Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
    I didn’t expect to like them THIS much, but these electric salt and pepper grinders are amazing. They look super sleek on the counter, and the charging base is really convenient — no more buying batteries! The grind size is easy to adjust, and both salt and pepper come out evenly without getting stuck. The LED light is a small thing, but honestly so useful when cooking in the evening. I’ve been using them every day and the battery still holds great. If you’re thinking about getting a set, this one is definitely worth it. Makes cooking and serving so much easier and feels way more premium than I expected.

    Revising my first review
    Material Type: Updated-Stainless Steel
    All the items were in the box. The grinders are easy to use. The quality of the product is excellent. I had another one from another company a while ago but this one here I would buy again. The light is brighter than most. The grinders works very well. I am resubmitting this review from my previous one. I give this one 5 STARS PLUS
