Description

Brilliant sunset scene executed by Mary Blair for Song of the South

(Walt Disney Studios, 1946) Nice original concept painting by Mary Blair for Song of the South, showing the clever Br'er Fox leading Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Bear down a fence-lined road, with gorgeous flowers blooming on either side. Inspired by a classic folktale as told by Joel Chandler Harris in his 'Uncle Remus' stories, Blair brilliantly executes the Southern scene, with a blazing orange sunset filling the sky. Accomplished in tempera on 9.25 x 8.5 artist's board. In fine condition, with tack holes at corners.
