Karl Valentin (1882-1948)

Kunst is schön, macht aber viel Arbeit.
Art is beautiful, but it´s labour intensive.

The quotation came from the bavarian comedian Karl Valentin.
He was a great entertrainer who made funny sketches
with his partner Liesl Karstadt
between the I. and the II. World War in Germany.

It was also the motto of the stampproject of the Heindesign in 2009.

Indeed Moni,  the stamp!
