The United States Postal Service has chosen a portrait by Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte (in collaboration with Tico Torres) of artist, Emilio Sanchez from their Cuba Out of Cuba series to be included on the stamp panel to celebrate the centennial and work of Emilio Sanchez (1921-1999). The Cuban-American photography team's portrait was taken in 1993 and shows Sanchez sketching at his drawing table in his New York City loft studio. The four new “Forever” stamps will be launched on 10 June 2021 and feature Sanchez’s colorful architectural lithographs and paintings: Los Toldos (1973), Ty's Place (1976), En el Souk (1972), and Untitled (Ventanita entreabierta) (1981). Sanchez explored the effects of light and shadow to emphasize the abstract geometry of his subjects and his artwork encompasses his Cuban heritage as well as his long life in New York City.
