Yugoslavia year 1986 Art / Paintings – full set stamps

The Yugoslavia stamp set for Art / Paintings issued in 1986 was part of the annual series dedicated to art from various periods and places.

The main set is a definitive issue titled “Art – Paintings” or sometimes referred to as “Paintings of Interiors.”

Set Details

• Number of Stamps: The complete set consists of five stamps (Michel #2080-2084 or Scott #1828-1832).
• Theme: The paintings often depicted various interior scenes or still lifes, primarily by artists from the former Yugoslav regions.
• Condition: The stamps are often offered in MNH (Mint Never Hinged) condition.

Featured Paintings/Artists

While the set is often grouped under the general theme “Paintings,” the individual stamps typically feature artwork from both Yugoslav and international artists. Based on philatelic catalogs and image sources for this set, the stamps from 1986 feature:

• A painting by František Muzika (Czech painter, 1900–1974)
• A modern painting by Rafael Canogar (Spanish painter, born 1935)
• A work, sometimes identified as “Woman’s Head,” by Pablo Picasso (Spanish painter, 1881–1973), which was part of a Yugoslav series featuring international masters.

This set is distinct from the 1986 EUROPA-CEPT issue, which featured paintings with the theme of “Nature Conservation” (two stamps).
