Book review: The art of disney (japan exhibition)

[sleepyfan]

The Art of Disney exhibit was on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo from July 15 through September 24 , 2006.

The art of Disney, is actually the catalog of the exhibition. The catalog is 243 pages and includes no less than 600 artworks.
It contains production art from works as early as Flowers and Trees, Snow White and The Three Little Pigs. Other works included animation cells, storyboards, production notes, and sketches from works like Cinderella, Pinocchio, Lady and the Tramp and Sleeping Beauty.

These pieces were handpicked by Walt Disney himself to go on tour through 17 cities in Japan in 1960 to promote the art of the Disney studio and his then upcoming film: Sleeping Beauty:
So It is mainly dedicated to the Sleeping Beauty!

If you already have beautiful disney books, some of these artworks will not be unknown (they are found especially in the "archive series"), however there are many original pieces, and having these 600 works collected in one book, this is amazing!

Every disney collector would love that book, and animation fans would really enjoy it to because of the diversity of art that it proposes.

I have to put the pictures in miniature, because otherwise they are too big for the page. To view larger, you just have to click.
