THE ONE AND ONLY: BUGS BUNNY
MEDIUM: Serigraph on fine art paper
SIZE: 19" x 14"
EDITION SIZE: 140
ARTIST: Bob Clampett
SKU: CP1398
ABOUT THE IMAGE: Known as one of the most famous cartoon characters ever, Bob Clampett’s version of Bugs Bunny has emerged as the more irreverent and sassy of the various Bugs Bunny versions. Because of Bugs’ personality, his popularity quickly catapulted him past Mickey Mouse for cartoon superiority. This became particularly true in the 1940's with the outbreak of World War Two, when the population favored more cheeky and feisty characters than the innocence of Disney’s animation. The original art for this print hung in Bob Clampett’s studio office for decades. This fine art serigraph print is enhanced with silver ink silkscreened for the background elements.
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Bob Clampett was an American animator, director, producer and puppeteer known for his work on the Looney Tunes animated series from Warner Brothers. Clampett was promoted to a directorial position in 1937 and during his fifteen years at the studio, directed 84 cartoons later deemed classic and designed some of the studio's most famous characters, including Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and Tweety.

ABOUT:
Tom Everhart is a celebrated American painter whose work uniquely bridges the worlds of fine art and popular culture through his exclusive use of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters. Initially trained at Yale School of Art and later mentored by Schulz himself, Everhart transitioned from traditional illustration and architectural rendering to a bold, expressive painting style after a life-altering battle with cancer in the late 1980s.
"The "Posing" series did grow out of the previous "Hide and Seek" series that focused on the questions of one's attempt to hide their intellectual honesty in order to seek out a newly designed image... a "Poser" tsunami of posturing between who was being real, and who was obviously pretending to be real, often with the intent to deceive, could no longer be ignored." - Tom Everhart
