Of her unique and adept sense of color, Disney Legend Inductee and one of Disney's "Nine Old Men" Marc Davis said, "[Mary Blair] was the most amazing colorist of all time. I don't think even Matisse could hold a candle to her -- and I mean that very sincerely. She could put colors together and they would just sing." In the book Magic, Color, Flair: The World of Mary Blair by John Canemaker, he writes, "After suffering difficult postwar years (1945-50), the Disney Studio came roaring back with three blockbuster feature-length cartoons destined to become classics. Mary Blair played a significant role in each film as a designer and especially as a Colorist." Stunning color palette, painted on board measuring approximately 9 1/4" x 9". Small World concept art attributed to Mary Blair is a rare and valued find, and this is without a doubt a special and beautiful piece of Disney art history.
