Memory: Eyvind Earle at Disney Family Museum
/I’ve been looking through exhibition photos recently and have decided to add some posts about past shows I have really enjoyed. Here’s are photos from Awaking Beauty: The Art of Eyvind Earle, which was shown May 18, 2017–January 8, 2018 at the Disney Family Museum here in San Francisco. Earle is best known as the concept artist that shaped the look of the classic Disney feature Sleeping Beauty. He also contributed concept art to Peter Pan and Lady and the Tramp. Although his work was very influential, his tenure at Disney was 6 or 7 years out of a long and prolific career. The exhibit was two floors, with older graphic design work and his beautiful stylized landscapes downstairs and a focus on his Disney concept art on the 2nd floor.
