Art Deco stamps

The style is marked by the use of "geometric motifs, curvilinear forms, sharply defined outlines, often bold colors",[1] and a fascination with machinery and modernity.

The Art Deco style also influenced postage stamp design in a number of countries in the twenties and thirties.

Art Deco stamps have been recognized as one such theme of collecting to which the American Topical Association has devoted a lengthy video.

The style was used in some Latin American countries beginning in the mid-1930s, but never really spread to the United States, whose stamp designs remained traditional and conservative.

In 1998, the United States issued a stamp honoring Ayn Rand in a distinct Art Deco style.
