Presented is a John Travolta signature on a colorful 45 x 61-inch stretched canvas print portraying the actor in his role as Chili Palmer from the 1995 film, “Get Shorty.” The two-time Academy Award nominee has signed his name in gold marker across the lower right side of the portrait, which includes a close-up head & shoulder image of Travolta with black sunglasses and a black turtleneck shirt. The left side of the canvas is an image of Travolta with “Get Shorty” co-stars Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito, and in the lower left center is a reproduction of a 1996 Rolling Stone magazine cover featuring Travolta. The images are reproductions of photos, with the logos of Travolta films “Pulp Fiction,” “White Man’s Burden” and “Phenomenon” interspersed. The primary colors on the canvas are orange, black, blue, green and yellow. The limited-edition portrait print by artist Steve Kaufman is silkscreened on stretched canvas, unframed, and signed by the artist in black marker on the back of the canvas. It is also inscribed “19/100” in black marker below Kaufman’s signature. This item comes with a video tape of John Travolta signing all of the prints. Please note that there is an approximately one-inch tear on the head of the right image of John Travolta.
