"Snow White" Walt Disney Studios 1937 Goauche on trimmed celluloid applied to a pan sheet of acetate and set over a pan watercolor production background. When most people think of animation and the emotions that it can conjure up they generally think of happy, funny, light hearted feelings. This piece of animation art you see before you casts all those happy, light hearted feelings aside and shoots straight for the drama of life and fantasy. And to a larger extent the entire movie of Snow White rewrote what people would come to expect for animated features. This piece of art is from the pinnacle scene in the movie in which Snow White is chased into the foreboding forest by the Evil Queens huntsman. As she fleas for her life the entire forest comes to life. The trees in this background painting take the forms of old hags. As strong foreshadowing of the troubles that lay ahead for the young princess. This piece had been in a number of very important collections prior to our acquiring it. And it will be included in Pierre Lambert's upcoming catalogue reaisonne' on the art of Snow White. Matted size: 11.5" x 28.75"
