(Walt Disney Studios, 1951) Amazing original concept painting by Mary Blair featuring Alice from Alice in Wonderland, showing the instantly recognizable title character in her blue dress in the garden. The diminutive Alice is surrounded by massive, lively foliage of all colors—pinks, greens, yellows, and blues—in this impressively surreal scene. Accomplished in tempera on 9.5 x 9.5 artist's board. In fine condition, with tack holes to corners. A remarkable, beautiful painting of an iconic Disney character.
Mary 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.
