Out March 25, 2014.
Beloved Disney designer Mary Blair has charmed generations with her
vibrant, whimsical creations, from stunning art direction for Cinderella
and Peter Pan to the wowing and wonderful “It’s a Small World” ride at
Disneyland. Magic Color Flair celebrates this Disney icon,
tracing the evolution of her mesmerizing style and showcasing her work
in gorgeous, full-color imagery.
Created for the Walt Disney Family Museum’s 2014 Mary Blair exhibit, Magic Color Flair
is an authoritative collection of Blair’s life’s work—including the
precocious paintings she made as a student at the renowned Chouinard Art
Institute; the enchanting concept drawings she created for numerous
Disney films; her lovely illustrated Golden Books, which are still
treasured today; and the rarely seen but delightful advertisements,
clothing designs, and large-scale installations that she devised later
in life.
Curated by Academy Award–winning animator John
Canemaker and annotated with fascinating information about her artistic
process, Magic Color Flair is a bold, lively look into the work
of an equally bold and lively creative, whose invaluable influence and
keen eye helped shape some of the world’s favorite Disney experiences.
