The Art of Tom Everhart – Oct 9 – 12
“The Art of Tom Everhart” exhibition opens on Friday, October 9 and runs through Monday, October 12, 2015 at Ocean Galleries. The collection will include limited editions and original artwork. Classically trained as an artist at the Yale University of Art and Architecture, Tom Everhart graduated in 1976 and continued post-graduate studies at the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris. In 1980, Everhart was first introduced to legendary cartoonist Charles Schulz during a proposed commercial project, where an odyssey of two artists would begin. Schulz and Everhart went on to enjoy a 20-year personal friendship and an artistic relationship greatly valued by both. In that time, Everhart would become the only fine artist to be educated by Schulz in his work and also entrusted to create Peanut’s© artwork under his direction. Over time, a mutual respect between the two artists developed, so powerful that Schulz encouraged Everhart to carry forward his comic strip creations to the fine art form – and to extraordinary results. Everhart’s Peanuts© related work has shown in museums around the world, including an exhibit at the Louvre in Paris.
Date: 10AM-6PM Fri, Oct 9; 10AM-9PM Sat, Oct 10; 10AM-6PM Sun, Oct 11; 10AM-5PM Mon, Oct 12.
