They Drew As They Pleased: The Hidden Art of Disney’s Mid-Century Era: 4 (Disney X Chronicle Books)
£26.70£33.30 (-20%)
The 1950s and 1960s at The Walt Disney Studios marked unprecedented stylistic directions brought on by the mid-century modern and graphic sensibilities of a new wave of artists. This volume explores the contributions of these heroes with special emphasis on the art of Lee Blair, Mary Blair, Tom Oreb, John Dunn, and Walt Peregoy. It includes never-before-seen images from Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Sleeping Beauty and discusses Disney’s first forays into television, commercials, space, and science projects―even the development of theme parks. Drawing on interviews and revealing hundreds of rediscovered images that inspired Disney’s films during one of its most prolific eras, this volume captures the rich stories of the artists who brought the characters to life and helped shape the future of animation.

Some really lovely art in this book! I’m particularly keen on 1950s advertising and this fits the bill, but I also got a little kick out of the art for the films that rarely get a look in (101 Dalmatians mainly!). I’ve got 2 books out of this series, and while I prefer the 5th volume (70s-80s), this is still a fab book!

I have now purchased all five books in this series. For anyone that loves the art of the Disney animators you will be very pleased with these books.

I literally could not love this book more and all of the other volumes have gone straight on my Wishlist!
