Academy - Mary Blair

The lasting influence of Disney artist, Mary Blair, will be celebrated through an examination of her concept artwork for Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan in the 1950s during "Mary Blair's World of Color: A Centennial Tribute" at The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Several of today's top animation talents will discuss Blair's work as an artist and will also demonstrate how her work has influenced their own. The panel will be moderated by animation critic and film historian Charles Solomon.
Blair's unmistakably bold and colorful designs continue to inspire artists in all areas of animation today.  Tickets for "Mary Blair's World of Color: A Centennial Tribute" are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID.  For more information, call (310) 247-3600 or visit www.oscars.org.
