Tom Everhart “Rollin With the Homies”
AFA
This event has ended.
Artist Tom Everhart, world-renowned for his paintings of Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the entire cast of Peanuts, presents his latest exhibition entitled Rollin With the Homies. This extraordinary Collection of works will be on exhibition and available for acquisition at AFA in New York City www.afanyc.com beginning May 18 through June 18, 2013. Everhart painted alongside legendary Peanuts creator Charles Schulz and is the only fine artist educated by Schulz. In 1988, Schultz encouraged Everhart to carry forward his comic strip creations to the fine art form – and to extraordinary results: Everhart’s Peanuts related work went on to show in museums and galleries around the world, including a show at the Louvre. Today, Everhart remains the only artist who will ever be allowed to paint any aspect of Peanuts. (VIDEO CLIP: Video by Dreamworks; Tom’s story)
