Bulgarian stamps for Spring

Bulgarian stamps for Spring

These beautiful, colorful postage stamps from Bulgaria were designed by the prolific graphic artist, Stefan Kanchev. The set of 6 stamps welcome the arrival springtime in 1971 with stylized birds, flowers, and rays of sunshine.

I notice when overlaying the different patterns, the symmetry connecting the series is accentuated.

Stefan Kanchev's graphics for this series remind me a little of Alexander Girard's "Tree of Life" and his work for the restaurant La Fonda del Sol.
