Mary Blair calendar from 1955

200802251202

Mary Blair is one of my all-time favorite illustrators, so I'm happy that Dan Goodsell scanned a 1955 Meadow Gold calendar by Blair and put it on Flickr.

Mary Blair did a lot of work for Disney as a concept artist for animation and theme park attractions. Animation historian John Canemaker wrote a book about her in 2003, The Art And Flair Of Mary Blair.

By the way, Dan Goodsell is a fine illustartor in his own right, and is having an art opening, "Mr Toast and Friends Show" at Monkeyhouse Toys in Silverlake on March 1st.
