AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US BIOGRAPHY: Paul Calle, Postage Stamp Designer, Is Dead at 82 By MARGALIT FOX The cause was melanoma, said his son Chris, who is also a stamp designer. A longtime Stamford resident, Mr. Calle (pronounced KAL-ee) designed more than 40 United States stamps, licked by generations of postwar Americans. He was best known for the 10-cent stamp, commissioned by NASA and issued in 1969, commemorating the Apollo 11 moon landing that year. His other stamps include ones honoring Gen. Douglas MacArthur (1971), Robert Frost (1974), the International Year of the Child (1979), Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan (1980), Frederic Remington (1981), Pearl S. Buck (1983), the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1984) and folk-art carousel horses (1988 and again, with new artwork, in 1995). Mr. Calle's work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City and elsewhere. With Chris, he designed two 1994 stamps a 29-cent first-class stamp and a $9.95 express-mail stamp commemorating the moon landing's 25th anniversary. Father and son also collaborated on stamps for Sweden, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and the United Nations. Paul Calle was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan on March 3, 1928. He earned a bachelor's degree from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and during the Korean War was an illustrator for the Army. Early in his career, Mr. Calle did cover artwork for science-fiction pulp magazines like Galaxy, Fantasy Fiction and Super Science Stories, as well as for general-interest publications like The Saturday Evening Post. In 1962, he was among the inaugural group of artists chosen for the NASA Art Program, a documentary record of the space program that has produced thousands of works to date. Mr. Calle's early art for the program includes a pair of 5-cent stamps, issued in 1967, depicting the Gemini casule and the astronaut Ed White making the first American spacewalk in 1965. On July 16, 1969, the day Apollo 11 was launched, Mr. Calle was the only artist allowed to observe the astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin, as they readied themselves for the mission eating breakfast, donning their spacesuits and the like. He captured their preparations in a series of intimate pen-and-ink sketches later exhibited at the National Air and Space Museum. That morning, when the astronauts lifted off, one of the things they carried was the engraved printing plate of Mr. Calle's commemorative stamp. As the moon lacked a post office, a proof made from the plate was hand-canceled by the men aboard the spacecraft. Mr. Calle's wife, the former Olga Wyhowanec, whom he married in 1951, died in 2003. Besides his son Chris, he is survived by another son, Paul P., a veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo; a daughter, Claudia Calle Beal; and six grandchildren. Interviewed after the moon landing, Mr. Calle divulged the secret of his rigorous craft: "When you do a stamp," he said, "think big, but draw small."

SIGHT SIZE: 10 x 14 inches / 25 x 35 cm BOARD SIZE: 15 x 20 inches / 38 x 50 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands The 20th Century series 60c Archaeology Reveals Past Glories stamp issued March 16, 1998. One of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century was made in 1922 -- the discovery of the undisturbed tomb of Tutankhamen by Britain's Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter. Tutankhamen, a pharaoh of Egypt's 18th Dynasty, died around 1350 B.C. at the tender age of 18 or 19. For over 3,000 years Tutankhamen's tomb had lain forgotten in the harsh desert of the Valley of the Kings. Not since the discovery of the Rosetta Stone had the field of archaeology been so abuzz with excitement. Thousands of priceless objects were found in the tomb -- including the pharaoh's expertly-preserved mummified body and the solid gold sarcophagus. As newspapers around the globe feverishly covered the event, the whole world was soon caught up in the fascinating details concerning the discovery of the long-dead pharaoh and his fabulous treasures.

ARTIST: Paul Calle (Connecticut, New York, 1928 - 2010) & Chris Calle (US,Born 1961) NAME: 1920s - Prohibition YEAR: 1998 MEDIUM: mixed media on board CONDITION: Excellent. SIGHT SIZE: 17 x 14 inches / 43 x 35 cm BOARD SIZE: 23 x 16 inches / 58 x 40 cm SIGNATURE: lower right NOTE: This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. Celebrate the Century Series 32c Prohibition Enforced stamp issued May 28, 1998. On October 28, 1919, the Volstead Act was passed, providing enforcement of the recently ratified 18th Amendment, prohibiting the manufacture, sale or transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States. President Herbert Hoover declared Prohibition to be "a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose." Most Americans, however, tended to disagree, especially those living in cities where illegal saloons or speakeasies flourished. Along with speakeasies came the men who supplied the illicit spirits, gangsters such as Frank Costello and Al Capone. Before long, the explosive growth of bootlegging and organized crime led to the broad corruption of public officials. Fewer than 1,600 liquor enforcement agents patrolled a nation inhabited by more than 105 million people, which possessed two lengthy borders and more than 18,000 miles of coastline. And since agents were paid miserable wages, few were dedicated to their work. Two notable exceptions were agents Izzy Einstein and Moe Smith -- famous for donning elaborate disguises to catch offenders. Calls for repeal of Prohibition began as early as 1923. It wasn't until February 20, 1933, however, that Congress passed the 21st Amendment, repealing the 18th Amendment and making liquor legal again. PROVENANCE: Collection of James A.

Paul Calle & Chris Calle "1930s - Bobby Jones" WC
Est: $100 - $1,000
Paul Calle (1928 - 2010) and Chris Calle (B. 1961) "1930s - Bobby Jones & Golfing" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 32c Bobby Jones/1930's 20th Century stamps issued September 10, 1998. Those who knew Bobby Jones as a child would never have expected that he would one day become a golfing legend -- the greatest amateur ever to play the game. He was frail and awkward looking, with a head too large for his body. He also suffered from a digestive ailment that doctors believed would kill him before he was fully grown. Yet Jones became the first man to win golf's coveted grand slam, winning in a single year the four major tournaments of the time. In 1930 he captured the the U.S. Open, the British Open, the U.S. Amateur and the British Amateur titles, then promptly retired at the age of 28 with nothing left to prove. In a seven year span (1923-1930) he won 13 of the 27 major tournaments he played in. Although Jones attracted huge galleries and helped make golf a major sport, he was a practicing lawyer who never played the game for money. In retirement, Jones made a series of motion picture shorts demonstrating the basics of the golf swing. But perhaps his greatest contribution to golf came when he helped convert a botanical garden in Augusta, Georgia, into the most revered golf course in the nation, then founded the tournament bearing the one name that would do it justice -- the Masters. Image Size: 16.5 x 11.5 in. Overall Size: 20 x 16 in. Unframed. (B16178 / B16179)

Mr. Calle's early art for the program includes a pair of 5-cent stamps, issued in 1967, depicting the Gemini casule and the astronaut Ed White making the first American spacewalk in 1965. On July 16, 1969, the day Apollo 11 was launched, Mr. Calle was the only artist allowed to observe the astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin, as they readied themselves for the mission eating breakfast, donning their spacesuits and the like. He captured their preparations in a series of intimate pen-and-ink sketches later exhibited at the National Air and Space Museum. That morning, when the astronauts lifted off, one of the things they carried was the engraved printing plate of Mr. Calle's commemorative stamp. As the moon lacked a post office, a proof made from the plate was hand-canceled by the men aboard the spacecraft. Mr. Calle's wife, the former Olga Wyhowanec, whom he married in 1951, died in 2003. Besides his son Chris, he is survived by another son, Paul P., a veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo; a daughter, Claudia Calle Beal; and six grandchildren. Interviewed after the moon landing, Mr. Calle divulged the secret of his rigorous craft: "When you do a stamp," he said, "think big, but draw small."
