Concept piece of --- What a wonderful concept! Here we see the appropriately decorated palace that belongs to the abrasive and brutish Queen of Hearts. The path to the castle is lined with heart-topped staffs which leads us to the wonderful red and black heart shaped door. The piece is demonstrative of Blair’s amazing use of color and stylization. With only a few strokes she has created a geometric interpretation of the land surrounding the castle. Through the viewers eye, the palace might remind us of the infamously unforgettable Kangaroo Trial, which shortly will take place within its walls. Much of Mary’s Alice art was based on the imagery and drawings of John Tenniel who was the illustrator for the original Carroll books. And, while Walt didn’t want them to go totally in that direction, the strong use of black and white throughout the Alice inspiration art is a reminder of her influence. This piece measures 7" x 9". There is evidence of a pin hole towards the edge of each corner, outside of the image, which can be easily matted out. US$ 8500 (unframed). WDAPP6 |

Bambi
(1942)
Concept piece of a deer The artwork measures 17.5" x 11". The forest setting for Disney’s classic film, Bambi, gave the studio an opportunity to create more complex and detailed backgrounds than anyone had ever seen, and they certainly succeeded in doing so. This concept piece shows that even in the early stages of planning, these meticulous backgrounds were in the forefront of the artists’ minds, as a massive, tangled web of tree trunks and branches surround a small clearing in which a tiny fawn lies. A great amount of depth is given to the piece by using darker colors to shadow those branches which cut across the foreground, while using lighter colors to accent and illuminate the trees that twist in the background. The forest truly becomes a character all its own in this piece just as it did in the movie itself. There is evidence of staple holes towards the extremes of the upper left and right hand corners which can be easily matted out. On the reverse of the piece, the edges have been affixed to a brown paper, which can easily be matted out.. The size of the image is 0.25" h x 0.25" w. US$ 4900 (unframed).

The Winged Scourge
(1943)
Concept piece of a mosquito From the estate of Norman Wright This piece was featured in a published profile of Walt Disney from a Fortune Magazine article from August of 1942. The article focused on Walt's astounding ability as a teacher and included a working meeting with his animators in discussing the development of the Winged Scourge, a goodwill piece. Made for South America in order to educate people about Malaria, it showed simple things people could do to stop mosquitoes. In an open dialogue, Walt stressed the importance of conveying information and the simple things people could do to stop the spread of mosquitoes, and not so much the use of gags. Walt's great ability of not only a leader but a teacher are exposed in the clear and direct way he conversed with his animators in achieving his and their goals. This piece stands as an incredibly powerful image that communicates the gravity and the seriousness of Malaria. A protective sheet has been affixed to the drawing with a strip of tape as well as three staples along the upper edge, which can be removed upon purchase. There are also two staples toward the lower edge. As the image is not affected, all of the above imperfections can easily be matted out.

Concept piece of Alice Following the white rabbit down the rabbit hole, Alice ends up in the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland where all the creatures speak in riddles and do exceptionally strange things. This background is depictive of the surreal landscape that surrounds her on her zany journey. Here, we see Alice pausing near a couple of signs; it’s as if she is trying to figure out which way to go. Her pathway is painted a golden hue of yellow and the trees are painted beautiful shades of rose and lilac. In the foreground there is an enormous mushroom and the background depicts either a cave or shaded tree which is painted a beautiful blue. From there, there is nothing but darkness, possibly alluding to the series of misadventures that are about to take place. This piece measures 7.5" x 8". There is evidence of a pin hole towards the edge of each corner, outside of the image, which can be easily matted out. The paper has had a tinge of color change around the outer edges only, as well as slight folding which measures 1" in the upper left hand corner, which is outside of the image as well.

Concept piece of Alice Early on it was clear that Walt had an affinity for the great Lewis Carroll double masterpiece, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1872). In both1923 and1936, he produced shorts that revolved around the subject matter of Carroll’s great novels, and it was no surprise that he later decided to create a feature film. The Alice in Wonderland project fascinated and bewildered Walt and much of the inspiration art which Mary Blair created for the film did come through on screen. Here we see the beautiful little Alice standing in the forest which exists somewhere in a magical world beneath the rabbit hole from which she fell. She pauses here for a moment, probably to talk to one of the fantastic creatures that she meets while on her hunt for the allusive White Rabbit. The background is filled with earthy hues and is complimented by the pink star like blossoms that line her path. This piece measures 7" x 9". There is evidence of a pin hole towards the edge of each corner, outside of the image, which can be easily matted out. The size of the image is 4.75" h x 3.25" w. US$ 11500 (unframed). WDAPP5 |

Concept piece of Cinderella In this piece we see a highly stylized background consisting of several key elements. In the upper left, we see a black square grid placed against a larger deep blue square; this creates a lovely view of an evening sky from the inside of the palace foyer. The concepts from Cinderella retain much of the whimsy that Blair is known for and we can see examples of this in the surreal-like staircase which rolls and winds up into a tiny pink doorway--it almost looks as if one would use the stairs as a slide rather than a means to get from the bottom floor to the top. The staircase is also made stable by wonderfully ornate supports which only touch the stairs in two places, suggesting that the stairs are almost floating. In the scene we also see two fantastic potted plants that look anything but healthy. It’s possible that the health of these plants might personify Cinderella emotions as she scrubs the enormous and never-ending red and black checkered palace floor. This piece measures 8" x 9.75". There is evidence of staple holes towards the extremes of the four corners, outside of the image, which can be easily matted out. The size of the image is 1" h x 2.75" w. US$ 9800 (unframed).

Tink is often a show-off when Peter is around, however he seems to be disinterested at the moment as he is leaning and pointing toward the open window which glows below.

Storyboard of some alligators This is a gorgeous piece and has quickly become a favorite of many staff members here. The use of color is very stylized, depicting foreground trees in shades of blue and a pair of alligators, rendered in black as they take the form of mere shadows. It is a peaceful night and as the steamboat rolls by it ejects billowing smoke from which magic blazing fragments travel the air in its wake. The piece is an excellent example of what Walt's animators were able to achieve with just one primary color. In this short film we see a pair of storks find tranquility in the moonlit sanctuary of the Blue Bayou. The short has no dialogue and doesn’t have much of a plot, but what it does have is a extraordinary feeling of deep, ethereal peace within the confines of a hectic multi episode animated film we, the viewer receive a chance for a few moments to find a little rest.

Concept piece of the Queen of Hearts This is an amazing concept by Blair depicting the brutish Queen of hearts as she uses a court flamingo as a croquet mallet. It’s amazing to see how the artist’s vision was followed in the film. The Queen’s hairstyle, crown, and dress are nearly identical to Mary’s design of the character. In this piece we see geometric shapes take the form of hedges, shrubs and clouds; this is the type of stylization which is acutely representative of Mary Blair’s work. This piece measures 7" x 9". There is evidence of a pin hole towards the edge of each corner, outside of the image, which can be easily matted out. The size of the image is 5" h x 5.25" w. US$ 8500 (unframed). WDAPP8 |

Concept piece of Tinkerbell What a fantastic concept of our favorite pixie, Tinkerbell. It’s truly amazing to see how the development of Tink’s character progresses from the point of Blair’s inspiration to the moment that she was personalized by Marc Davis during the animation process. Blair's rendition of Tink looks quite weighty in the limbs; while Marc's version of the pixie retained the curves, they were in all the right places and brought to life a gorgeous full figured fairy. Tink's personality truly shines through in this piece via her ever present facial expressions. From her high arched brow to the fleeting sideways glance and upturned lips, we can really see the spark of her mischievous and playful character. Beautiful shades of green, pink and gold gauche complete the piece. The artwork measures 9.25" x 7.5". There is evidence of pin holes towards the extremes of each corner, which can be easily matted out. As pinning up artwork for evaluation was often part of the creative process, this is fairly common for this type of work. The size of the image is 6.5" h x 5" w. US$ 9500 (unframed). WDAPP17 |

Concept piece of Uncle Remus This piece measures 8" x 9".

Blair’s blue sky, patchy green grass, dusty red roads because a backdrop for Uncle Remus and the cartoon critters of his wild tales. There is evidence of pin holes along the extreme lower and upper edges toward the center, which can be easily matted out.

Concept piece of Wendy Darling and John Darling Peter Pan was Blair's final feature and the artwork which she painted for the film can be looked upon as her creative crescendo! Here we see John, Michael and Wendy as they take to they air and embark on their journey to Never Land. Each of their tiny silhouettes is beautifully highlighted by the moonlight as if they were so close to the moon that they could touch it. The homes below them have taken on quite an unvarying design suggesting that the place that the children are headed is going to be a much more magical. The concept is highly stylized in a monochromatic blue palette. While this color is often associated with a "blue mood" this piece in contrast boasts the cheerful emotion and whimsy of the film. This piece measures 7" x 9". There is evidence of a pin hole towards the edge of each corner, outside of the image, which can be easily matted out. The size of the image is 3" h x 6.75" w. US$ 8500 (unframed). WDAPP10 |
