ERIK NITSCHE (1908 - 1998) "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"Erik Nitsche (Swiss, 1908 - 1998) "Happy Birthday Packages" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 22c Happy Birthday stamp issued April 20, 1987.
A toddler sits with legs dangling in his high-chair surrounded by doting relatives ... an elderly woman stands to thank those friends and loved ones who have remembered her once more. Birthdays ... what special days! Days to celebrate the simple joy of being alive. And a day we can enjoy indulging in being fussed over: the cake complete with candles, the lovingly wrapped gifts, the phone calls from near and far, all from those who care and thoughtfully remember our very special day. Birthdays, of course, also mean a certain extra interest in the daily mail. Whether we are celebrating our own birthday, or the birthday of someone dear to us receiving and sending birthday cards is a meaningful way to express our love and best wishes. This artwork carries the birthday theme in a clever, colorful assortment of packages, each bearing a letter of the message everyone gets to hear once every year.
