(Walt Disney Studios, 1951) Fabulous original concept painting by Mary Blair for Alice in Wonderland, showing a back view of Alice with arms akimbo and casting a shadow on Tweedledum and Tweedledee, whom appear lost in conversation. The scene is vividly realized against a lush green lawn, with Alice's vexation toward the talkative twins accentuated by her stern stance and long shadow. Accomplished in tempera on 10 x 8.75 artist's board. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners. Blair was a concept artist for Disney during the 1940s and early 1950s, working on designs for such films as Peter Pan, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland. She also created designs for several Disney attractions (including It's a Small World), and her largest work ever, the multi-story mosaic in Disney World's Contemporary Hotel concourse. A brilliant piece of original artwork from the influential Blair, with a vivid rendering of Wonderland's mischievous brothers. Learn more about our Animation Expert, Harry Kleiman.
