Santa exhibit comes to High Museum

ATLANTA - Atlanta&#39;s High Museum of Art will display Santa Claus paintings by the late illustrator Haddon Sundblom, beginning December 3rd. <br> <br> The paintings are among 35 done for Coca-Cola between 1931 and 1964. They were used in Coke ads for Christmastime and have not been shown together in Atlanta. <br> <br> Sundblom&#39;s Santa helped shape the modern image of Santa Claus. They show a jovial fellow, rotund and dressed in red and white. <br> <br> The Sundblom Santa paintings are stored in Coke&#39;s archives, with the exception of seven that typically remain on permanent display at Atlanta&#39;s World of Coca-Cola. <br> <br> The paintings are brought out during the holidays. <br> <br> The exhibit runs through January 5th.
