Walt Disney, the magician of the
animated
cartoons, the father of Mickey, is the artist impossible to circumvent
of the universe of the children in the whole world since several
generations. The universal and incomparable magic of these masterpieces
transcended many historical fairy tales. By preoccupation with a
universality, its small heroes belonged to almost all the great ages of
the world. From Mowgli to Aladdin, from Esmeralda gipsy to the indian
Pocahontas, all the cultures are, late or early, fertilized by the
animated
pencil of the Disney team. The Cartoon film becomes a noble art in 1937
with the appearance of stunning Snow White. Passionate by the
historical illustrations of the fairy tales, Disney will take a lot of
inspiration there at the beginning by its company. This exhibition in
the
Grand-Palais, reveals us with talent the artistic route of the Disney
painter and his friends : Its influences with the sources of
the
German romanticism, the light silhouette of Shirley Temple to the acid
profile of Joan Crawford to crunch the witch of Snow White. The
exhibition gathers a crowd of images, paintings, illustrations,
drawings
preparatory, small films and completely new documents coming straight
from the Disney studios. Each room is dedicated to a character worship,
Of Snow White to the book of the Jungle, the last large animated
drawing signed by the hand of the Master himself. As a
conclusion, a room gathers some works of art influenced by the Disney
universe. We find there works headlight of Andy Wharhol or Erro among
large signatures of the XXth century.
