BACKGROUND:\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\nFor more than half a century, U.S. stamps have depicted the American flag in vivid red, white, and blue. This eye-catching new issuance continues that tradition with a striking graphic design of a flag with two crisp folds.<\/p>\n

Kit Hinrichs<\/a><\/em>\u00a0of San Francisco, who created the digital illustration for this stamp, is the founder and director of an educational foundation devoted to the American flag. Because the foundation has a collection of more than 5,000 items, Hinrichs is especially aware of the countless ways the flag has been interpreted in art.<\/p>\n

For this stamp, Hinrichs created a design that shows a flag with a crisp edge and a contemporary look, with a shadow on the small, visible portion of the back to suggest a sense of depth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
