Tom Everhart

Tom Everhart is an American artist renowned for being the only artist with full creative rights to the 'Peanuts' characters developed by Charles Schulz. Born in Washington, D.C., Everhart studied art at Yale under the tutelage of modern masters such as William de Kooning and Jack Tworkov. In the 1980s, a collaboration with Schulz steered him towards cartoon imagery. The 'Peanuts' characters soon became the center of his artistic universe, depicted in a large-scale format. Everhart's style often blends the simplicity and humor of Schulz's characters with an abstract expressionist approach, creating a dialogue between cartoon imagery and fine art. Works such as "To Every Dog There is a Season - Spring" encapsulate his vivid, energetic style. Despite health challenges, Everhart continues to produce highly sought-after pieces. Today, his work is exhibited worldwide and holds a unique position in the intersection of popular culture and fine art.
