Synopsis
Here Disney fans will discover the fairy tales behind Sleeping Beauty and Snow White; they'll learn that Pinocchio's village was modeled on the medieval city of Rothenburg in Bavaria; that Bambi's forest took its inspiration from fifteenth-century Chinese painting; that Dumbo's bird's-eye views drew on the work of Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton. Finally, the book looks at the myriad ways in which Disney's products became source materials for modern and contemporary artists, including Prokofiev and Léopold Stokowski as well as Christian Boltanski, Bertrand Lavier, Peter Saul, and Gary Baseman. A wonderful sourcebook for Disney enthusiasts, this colorful volume offers a unique perspective on the often-overlooked links between highbrow and popular culture

Reviews
What makes the Disney Studio feature films produced between 1937 and 1967, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, and Fantasia, "masterpieces of animation"? One pivotal factor was reliance on an ardently assembled studio library of "iconographic sources." Art historian and curator Girveau and his contributors elucidate the tremendous influence European fables, fairy tales, illustrations, and paintings had on Walt Disney and his studio artists. Works by Heinrich Kley, Pieter Bruegel, Gustave Doré, Honoré Daumier, Arthur Rackham, Lewis Carroll, and Beatrix Potter are juxtaposed with stills from the films, and, even more pleasingly, remarkably expressive preliminary drawings by such talented (and shrewdly well-trained) Disney artists as Mary Blair, Gustaf Tenggren, and Kay Nielsen. One intriguing chapter covers the short-lived collaboration between Disney and Salvador Dalí in the mid-1940s, a project resurrected by Disney's nephew Roy, in 2003, while another showcases the use of Disney characters in pop art and contemporary works, thus bringing the exchange between high and low art full circle. This gorgeous and revealing volume deepens appreciation for Disney's brilliant, imaginative, and indelible creations. Seaman, Donna
