The Napa Valley Museum has opened an exhibition celebrating the work of Disney Legend Mary Blair, which opened on March 22 to the public.

Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic

Mary Blair: Mid-Century Magic, explores “the creative vision and achievements of one of Walt Disney’s most imaginative and renowned designers and art directors.” This is the second iteration of this exhibit, as the Walt Disney Family Museum had previously created this for their own museum last year.

Blair joined Disney in 1941 on an expedition that toured South America for three months. Because her watercolors captured the spirit of the Latin countries so well, she was named art supervisor on “The Three Caballeros” and “Saludos Amigos.” Since then, Blair’s color and style influenced other Disney post-war productions, including “Make Mine Music,” “Melody Time,” “So Dear to My Heart,” “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad,” “Cinderella,” “Alice in Wonderland,” and “Peter Pan.” She also contributed to shorts, including “The Little House” and “Susie, the Little Blue Coupe.”

Walt later asked Blair to assist in the design of “it’s a small world” for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. Over the years, Blair contributed to the design of several exhibits, attractions, and murals for Disneyland and Walt Disney World, including the murals in the Grand Canyon Concourse at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

This is a reimagining of the 2014 exhibition — Magic, Color, Flair: the world of Mary Blair. Curated by The Walt Disney Family Museum’s Director of Collections & Exhibitions Marina Villar-Delgado and based on the original exhibition created by award-winning animated and animation historian John Canemaker, this display celebrates Blair’s career and highlights an expanded selection of works from her later collaborations with Walt Disney on theme park and resort installations, including attractions, facades, and murals.
