Mary Blair
Baby's House Kitchen Interior - Woman Illustrator Mid-Century

1950

About the Item

Famed Disney artist Mary Blair was also an illustrator for assignments outside Disney. The present work appears to be for a Gelolo Mchugh children's book called Baby's House. There is printer information on Verso, but we are unsure how it ran. The work is characterized by Blair's highly stylized mid-century look, which is defined by simplified flat shapes, snappy color, technical mastery, expressive figures, and brilliant unified design. Signed lower right Condition is good with bright saturated color. There is one 3/4 inch crease top center and some minor cracking, tiny scuffs mostly visible on close inspection . Matted measuring 14 x 11 inches. Matt glued to illustration board

Friedmans intimate style recalls a variety of post-impressionist artists such as Pointillism of Pisarro, Vuillard and Nabis, and perhaps even Seurat.
