Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2019
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/26/2019
Featuring iconic Montreal Canadiens superstars Jacques Plante and Doug Harvey, we have an original 1950s painting of the pair. Unique, this artwork is that of Dewitt "Tex" Coulter, former football star renowned for his artistic prowess and whose paintings were used in the 1950's and ‘60s on the cover of "Blueline" magazine, as well as on the big Montreal Canadiens calendars which are so popular among collectors. This image did indeed appear on one such calendar in the late ‘50s when Jacques Plante and Doug Harvey were in their prime and had a stranglehold on the Vezina and Norris trophies. Incredible life-like images of two of hockey's all-time greats are in a modern frame, at approx. 22” x 26 ½”, with the images of the trophies applied to the original work.
Tex has signed along the bottom right, with a few original blemishes present as part of the artistic process, with light wear to the frame including a few small holes through the backing over the reverse.
