Essays in English & Japanese by John Canemaker, Pete Docter, Koji Hoshino, Charles Solomon, the nieces, and son of Mary Blair. Brief captions are in both English & Japanese. Additional text is in Japanese. This catalog was only available in-person at the museum. We have a small supply courtesy of the Walt Disney Company and Studio Ghibli. Truly hard to find! From the museum: "Mary Blair (1911-1978) produced concept art and color styling for such Disney films as“Cinderella”and“Alice in Wonderland,” as well as character designs for the Disneyland Resort attraction, “it's a small world.” Her prominent sense of art did not only earn the trust of Walt Disney, but has exerted in wide-ranging media, including picture books and package designs, and still today commands the respect of numerous professional creators. With the cooperation of Studio Ghibli, this exhibition will present the life and art of a woman who lived in colors, through some 500 artworks and related materials."

Blutch. PÉPLUM. [SN26453X] $45 Paris: Cornelius, 1997. b&w, wraps. VF. A homosexual tragedy. From Indyworld.com: "The lush, deft, inky drawings of French cartoonist Blutch have been a significant influence on the current generation of serious American cartoonists, primarily thanks to the mostly wordless series Mitchum. Blutch himself has been a bit of a schizophrenic artist, working in the "mainstream" for humor magazines like Fluide Glacial while also creating a body of complex and challenging "high art" comics, as well as paintings that have been exhibited in galleries internationally. Péplum is, to date, his long-form comics masterpiece: inspired by the Roman satirist Petronius's Satyricon, this tale is a strange quest narrative that also explores the nature of obsession and the traps and snares of politics. Péplum is a minor epic, told in a virtuoso fashion by a master draughtsman who has a near-perfect intuition for comics flow and timing. Rarely have such perfectly-constructed comic pages seemed so effortless, matching the perfect line with the serendipitous smudge."
