ITEM:A Brush with Disney -Cinderella's CastlebyHerb Ryman
Offset lithograph
15 x 24.5 inches
This is an original offset lithograph from Herb Ryman's - A Brush with Disney retrospective.
This stunning lithograph is rendered by Disney Legend Herb Ryman, one of the most celebrated Disneyland artists and imagineers of all time. Herb Ryman’s original rendition of Disneyland really helped sell Walt's vision to investors... and the rest, as they say, is history.
This lithograph is a beautiful example of Ryman's artistry and craftsmanship. As one of Walt’s original hand-picked artists, Ryman designed many of Disneyland's most iconic visuals, and his concept art set the standard for Disney Imagineering from its beginning.
The lithograph is an original 1994 exhibition poster on semi-gloss paper, and is stunning.
The art is from the legendary Disney Archives, a priceless collection of rarely seen concept art that covers 60 years of animation, theme park and resort design.
Herb Ryman moved to California during Hollywood's "golden age", he quickly became the sole artist and illustrator for MGM Studios. He helped designDavid Copperfield,A Tale of Two Cities,Mutiny on the Bounty, andAnna Karenina. His work onThe Good Earthinspired him to leave his job at MGM and tour China where he made many sketches. His last work at MGM was the Emerald City segment ofThe Wizard of Oz.
In 1938 he returned to California and metWalt Disneywho was so impressed he invited Herb to join theWalt Disney Studios. Herb went on to serve as an art directorFantasiaandDumbo.
In 1941, Ryman toured with Walt Disney and other Disney Studio artists on a "Good Will Tour of South America." Production of the two Disney classicsSaludos AmigosandThe Three Caballeros, resulted from this trip.
On September 26, 1953, Ryman received an urgent request to meet with Disney. Disney asked Ryman to render the artwork for a Disney envisioned theme park. Disney and Ryman worked non-stop throughout the weekend creating a large pencil sketch and several other drawings illustrating the project.Roy Disneytook the drawings and a six page portfolio to New York to show investors the plan in order to secure financing used to developDisneyland. Once financing was assured, Disney asked Ryman to rejoin the Disney Company.Disneyland became the centerpiece of his Disney career. Among his contributions were designs for Main Street, U.S.A.,Sleeping Beauty CastleandNew Orleans Square. Herb also contributed concepts for theJungle Cruise,Pirates of the Caribbean, and for attractions featured at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, includingGreat Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
