1970's Jim Brown Original Artwork by Gary Thomas
<B>1970's Jim Brown Original Artwork by Gary Thomas.</B></I> Fantastic early work is by famed sports artist and Cleveland resident Gary Thomas, the creator of the highly collectible Goal Line Art cards whose paintings are prominently featured in Canton at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Those familiar with Thomas' work will recognize this as a very early step in his evolution as an artist, and will understand how scarce and desirable such a painting is. But special appeal is added to this particular specimen, as it is consigned to us directly by the Brown family, and was given to the Hall of Fame running back by Thomas personally. A letter of provenance from the Brown family member will accompany this lot. The casein on board work measures 13x15", with original frame extending the dimensions to 17x19".
