Tyrus Yu Wong (1910-2016) Concept Art From Disney's Bambi
Framed Tyrus Yu Wong (1910-2016) Watercolor Concept Art From Disney's Bambi.
Wong was a Chinese - born painter, lithographer, and designer who studied at Otis Art Institute. A production illustrator in the film industry, he had worked for such studios as Disney and Warner Bros. He was also one of the first fine artists to apply his talent to the designing of Christmas cards. Tyrus Wong and his father immigrated to the United States from China when he was 9 years old. When he attended Benjamin Franklin Junior High in Pasadena, his teachers noticed Wong's artistic ability and arranged for a summer scholarship at the Otis Art Institute. Wong was hooked and decided to leave junior high for a full time studentship at Otis. He worked as a greeting card designer, a Warner Brothers film production illustrator (1942-1968), from drawing set designs and storyboard for several movies and a Disney inspirational sketch artist (1938-1941). It was his lush pastels that served as inspiration for Bambi (1942).
