A Brush With Disney: An Artist's Journey Told through the words and works of Herbert D. Ryman - Edited by Bruce Gordon and David Mumford, research by Irene Naoum
Follow the artist Herbert Ryman’s journey around the globe and deep into the world of Walt Disney. Brimming with full color reproductions of Ryman’s art over six decades and excerpts from his journals, this is the essential compilation of Herbert D. Ryman’s remarkable work as both a legendary Disney artist and independent fine artist. The chapter “Odysseys” focuses on Ryman’s world travels ranging from Asia in the 1930s to East Africa in the 1980s, along with his travels with the Ringling Circus during the last years of the Big Top. “Hollywood” focuses on Ryman’s lesser known work as a concept designer for films including rarely seen sketches for A Star is Born and other classics during the Golden Age of Hollywood. A highlight is “Fantasy Lands and Disney Worlds” with extensive coverage of Ryman’s work for Disney, from the historic first map sketch of Disneyland and many concept paintings and sketches for all the Disney parks: Sleeping Beauty’s castle, Main Street, New Orleans Square, Tomorrowland and so many more.
