How does this artwork elucidate its L'Oiseau Bleu postage stamp?
For the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the publication of the Cubist manifesto Du "Cubisme", 1912–2012, a French postage stamp was printed with the image of Metzinger's L'Oiseau bleu. A postage stamp representing Le Chant de guerre, portrait de Florent Schmitt (1915) by Albert Gleizes was also printed, in a series that includes stamps representing the works of other Cubists such as Roger de La Fresnaye, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso and others. For the same occasion in 2012 the Musée national de la Poste (France) (the logo of which is a blue bird) mounted an exhibition entitled Gleizes-Metzinger. Du Cubisme et après dedicated to Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes, in which appeared the works of other members of the Section d'Or group.
