Tom Everhart "Salute" Limited Edition 25x33 Collectible Lithographic Art Print Commemorating 50th Anniversary of "Peanuts" Comic Strip (Imperfect)

Master Artist Tom Everhart is the protege of famed "Peanuts" creator, Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000). As the only artist in the world granted the rights to draw the "Peanuts" characters in his own work, Everhart creates vibrant, extremely collectible rainbow masterpieces featuring Snoopy, Woodstock and the gang. Bereaved by Schulz's death in February 2000, Everhart created this special piece, released in October 2000 - the 50th Anniversary of the first publication of the "Peanuts" comic strip. "Salute" is limited to only 9,500 examples, plus 100 artist proofs, printed on acid free, archival quality enameled paper and plate-signed by Everhart. Measures approximately 25" x 33" (with border); 22" x 29.5" (image). All plates used to create this image have been destroyed.

Please note, print features heavy creasing throughout.

Tom Everhart is the only artist with full creative rights to the "Peanuts" characters created by Charles M. Schulz (November 26, 1922 –February 12, 2000). In 1980 Tom graduated from the School of Art and Architecture at Yale University. He got a freelance job drawing renderings of Charles Schulz's characters. Everhart began working with "Peanuts" imagery exclusively. His first show was at the famous Louvre Museum in January 1990. In 1991, Charles Schulz and United Media, drafted a legal agreement allowing Tom exclusive rights to use subject matter from Schulz's "Peanuts" strip in his art for "the term of his life". "Peanuts" is the most popular and influential strip in the history of the genre, and ultimately earned Schulz over $1 billion during his lifetime. His decision to tap Everhart as the sole steward of his creation is an honor that the artist has happily devoted his life to.

The piece includes an LOA and lifetime authenticity guarantee from Pristine Auction.
