The Walt Disney Family Museum to Host Special ‘Memories of Mary Blair’ Presentation
Last month, we brought you the exciting news that The Walt Disney Family Museum would soon be unveiling a new exhibition exploring the creative achievements and vision of Disney Legend Mary Blair.
Titled Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic, the new exhibit is a reimagined version of the Magic, Color, Flair: The World of Mary Blair exhibition that debuted in 2014.
Curated by The Walt Disney Family Museum’s Director of Collections & Exhibitions Marina Villar-Delgado and based on the original exhibition created by John Canemaker, Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic promises a fresh look at the Disney Legend’s career.
“Known for her whimsical and daring approach to art, Blair’s versatility spanned multiple mediums, including watercolor, pencil and ink, collage, and ceramics. Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic will feature nearly 150 artworks and historical photographs exploring her influential role in shaping the look and feel of many of Disney’s animated films and theme park experiences—an artistic vision that continues to resonate today,” The Walt Disney Family Museum teased.
