Mary Blair Retrospective at The Cartoon Art Museum

We know many of you Pixar fans are also admirers of the work of Mary Blair, one of the first women concept artists to work for Disney. So, it is with great interest that we let you know about a major Mary Blair retrospective beginning tomorrow (October 27) at The Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco.

Pixar's Pete Docter wrote the introduction to the gallery text and loaned a few pieces of art from his personal collection to the exhibition.

You can find more information about The Art and Flair of Mary Blair exhibition at this link.

Sounds very cool. Too bad we don't get any of these great exhibits up here in Alberta. Thanks to Andrew and the Cartoon Art Musuem for the notice!

If you haven't done so already, pick up John Canemaker's excellent book, The Art and Flair of Mary Blair at the Amazon links below.
