Chronicle Books They Drew As They Pleased: The Hidden Art of Disney's Mid-Century Era

... eu deveria conhecer mais a fundo o livro antes. É realmente de ótima qualidade, mas é basicamente uma coleção de esboços (e nem é tão exaustiva). Verdade que alguns esboços são bem interessantes e bonitos e transmitem o espírito da época. Praticamente não se vê o produto final. Gostaria de ver também (e principalmente) imagens de cenas dos filmes dos anos 50 e 60.

Item arrived in an impeccable condition and within the time allowed.Part of a collection to advise.

Es perfecto, adoro esta colección y conocer sobre artistas del pasado que trabajaron en disney, muchas veces viendo lo que hacían antaño te das cuenta que a pesar de que han pasado muchos años todavía se tienen en cuenta ideas de estos artistas como referencia para otras películas más actuales.

I've been collecting "making off" for a lifetime, I thought I'd seen it all,this series of books collects thousands of images never seen, taken from the disney archives,80% illustrations, 20% descriptionsOne of my best purchases ever ! ! !

The Disney Company is unparalleled with it’s meticulous studio records and extensive production artwork spanning nine decades. The problem is getting them to put this material out for Disney connoisseurs and historians to enjoy. Didier Ghez has done us wonders with this series of books devoted to the concept artists who were influential at the studio over the years.This volume is probably the most colorful of all. Mary Blair has been one of the most celebrated of Disney artists. Her designs had warmth and a flair for color. As a fan of her work, any publication with fresh art is always a welcome surprise. And too much Mary Blair is never enough. Lots of never before published designs for Dumbo, The Three Caballeros, Melody Time, Cinderella, and Alice In Wonderland. Ive seen the actual Dodo impression, on page 91, on display at the Disney Family Museum. I’d like to see more concept art on the unproduced Carnival feature. This also answered my curiosity on if she did any designs for Sleeping Beauty (she did!) In volume one, Didier expressed that he would shy away from Mary Blair to focus on artists that haven’t been discussed before. I’m so glad he didn’t. The pieces he selected are beyond amazing.We also have, for the first time, an in depth discussion about her husband’s, Lee Blair’s, career. Lots of fresh art from Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Saludos Amigos. The chapters on John Dunn and Tom Oreb delve into Disneys foray into television and educational projects with very stylized designs. I presume this is the first publication to discuss the career of the controversial Walt Peregoy. From all accounts, past and fairly recent (he died in 2015) he was a very unpleasant person to interact with. But his designs have very beautiful and a striking use of color. We finally have a good representation of Peregoy’s Disney career.This series has struck a great balance of previously unseen art by both well known artists and artists that have never been discussed before. I hope The Disney Company will follow this example and unearth their treasures for Disney fans to see and for artists to be inspired by.I wonder what new treasures have been discovered for Volume 5.
