{"product_id":"9781781301180","title":"Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts at the Wallace Collection","description":"Author: Jacobsen, Helen\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781781301180\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 31 May 2022\u003cbr\u003ePages: 112 Format: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom talking furniture to magically transformed tableware, Walt Disney's fantastical animations can often be associated with the colourful art and architecture of French Rococo. Gothic Revival architecture can be found in \u003ci\u003eCinderella\u003c\/i\u003e (1950); bejewelled, medieval manuscripts in \u003ci\u003eSleeping Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e (1959); and Rococo-inspired furnishings and objects are brought to life in \u003ci\u003eBeauty and the Beast\u003c\/i\u003e (1991). This catalogue explores Disney's fascination with European art and examines how French motifs have made their way into Disney films and theme parks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Just as the furniture makers, silversmiths, and ceramicists of the eighteenth century, Disney's artists embraced their creative freedom and sought to expand the limits of design and invention. The book highlights the audacious work of artists such as Mary Blair, Hans Bacher and Peter J Hall and compares them to the 'animated' and anthropomorphic ceramics and gilt bronzes of S vres and Meissonnier. It explores the shared creative roots of their two seemingly disparate artistic realms and seeks to revitalise the feeling of excitement, awe, and marvel, which both Rococo craftsmen and Disney animators sought to spark amongst their audience.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631842644126,"sku":"UBD-9781781301180","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781781301180.jpg?v=1774310001","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781781301180","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
