The 5-cent Fine Arts commemorative postage stamp was first placed on sale at Washington, D.C., on December 2, 1964.
The stamp is based on a lithograph by the late Stuart Davis, who is regarded as a top‑ranking modernist. John Ross modifies the Davis design for the Giori press. Due to the arrangement of the colors, it is necessary to run the sheets through the press twice, resulting in two plate numbers on each pane.
