SUMMARY:The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Legendary cartoonist Charles M. Schulz’s legacy is one of cultural influence through his beloved Peanuts comic strip and of humble service in World War II. His wartime experience left a lasting impression on him\, so much so that he became the Capital Campaign Chair of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation from 1998 until his passing in 2000. \nPortrait of Charles M. Schulz in his army Uniform\, c. 1945.© SFIPT\, courtesy of the Charles M.Schulz Museum\, Santa Rosa\, CA \n“I think any sensible person with a grasp of history would have to admit that D-Day was the most important day of our century. Without D-Day it’s possible that Europe could have remained for another 25 or 50 years in darkness. I’m glad I wasn’t there\, and yet my admiration for the people who were knows no bounds.” – Charles M. Schulz\, 1999 \nThe National D-Day Memorial is proud to bring The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz to the Bower Center for the Arts in Bedford\, Virginia. The traveling exhibition\, curated by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa\, California\, U.S.A.\, explores Schulz’s personal history and his role as the sole inspiration and artistic talent behind the most successful comic strip in history. \nThe exhibition follows Schulz from his Minnesota roots to his life in California and tracks the development of the characters that make up the unique world of Peanuts. Thirty Peanuts comic strips\, Schulz quotes\, and photographs illuminate the story behind the creation of this most popular and influential cartoon strip. Comic strips by George Herriman (Krazy Kat)\, Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates)\, and Elzie C. Segar (Thimble Theatre Starring Popeye) shed light on how these prominent cartoonists influenced Schulz as a young artist and reveal the contrast of Schulz’s drawing style to the elaborately illustrated cartoons popular during the early 20th century. Schulz revolutionized the art of the comic strip through his single-handed dedication to the art\, wit\, and wisdom of Peanuts. \n©Peanuts Worldwide LLC \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our sponsors.\nNo logos found

SUMMARY:The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Legendary cartoonist Charles M. Schulz’s legacy is one of cultural influence through his beloved Peanuts comic strip and of humble service in World War II. His wartime experience left a lasting impression on him\, so much so that he became the Capital Campaign Chair of the National D-Day Memorial Foundation from 1998 until his passing in 2000. \nPortrait of Charles M. Schulz in his army Uniform\, c. 1945.© SFIPT\, courtesy of the Charles M.Schulz Museum\, Santa Rosa\, CA \n“I think any sensible person with a grasp of history would have to admit that D-Day was the most important day of our century. Without D-Day it’s possible that Europe could have remained for another 25 or 50 years in darkness. I’m glad I wasn’t there\, and yet my admiration for the people who were knows no bounds.” – Charles M. Schulz\, 1999 \nThe National D-Day Memorial is proud to bring The Life and Art of Charles M. Schulz to the Bower Center for the Arts in Bedford\, Virginia. The traveling exhibition\, curated by the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa\, California\, U.S.A.\, explores Schulz’s personal history and his role as the sole inspiration and artistic talent behind the most successful comic strip in history. \nThe exhibition follows Schulz from his Minnesota roots to his life in California and tracks the development of the characters that make up the unique world of Peanuts. Thirty Peanuts comic strips\, Schulz quotes\, and photographs illuminate the story behind the creation of this most popular and influential cartoon strip. Comic strips by George Herriman (Krazy Kat)\, Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates)\, and Elzie C. Segar (Thimble Theatre Starring Popeye) shed light on how these prominent cartoonists influenced Schulz as a young artist and reveal the contrast of Schulz’s drawing style to the elaborately illustrated cartoons popular during the early 20th century. Schulz revolutionized the art of the comic strip through his single-handed dedication to the art\, wit\, and wisdom of Peanuts. \n©Peanuts Worldwide LLC \n  \n \nThank you to our sponsors.\nNo logos found\n  \n
