Water to Paper, Paint to Sky is the first comprehensive retrospective of America&;s oldest living artist Tyrus Wong, whose groundbreaking work on Walt Disney&;s classic animation film Bambi influenced a generation of leading animators, including John Lasseter, Pete Docter, and Don Hahn. Tyrus Wong&;s ability to evoke powerful feeling in his art with simple gestural compositions continues to inspire each new generation of artists, and his influence can still be seen in movies today.
&;Tyrus Wong&;s sophistication of expression was a gigantic leap forward for the medium. Where other films were literal&;Bambi was expressive and emotional. Tyrus painted feelings, not objects.&; &; John Lasseter, Academy-Award winning director Born in 1910 in Canton, China, Tyrus Wong immigrated as a young boy to the United States, where he has enjoyed a long, distinguished, and diverse artistic career as a prolific painter, illustrator, calligrapher, lithographer, muralist, designer, Hollywood sketch artist, ceramicist, and kitemaker. Tyrus is legendary for his innovative work on Walt Disney Studio&;s classic animation film Bambi, in which his singular vision and evocative, impressionistic concept art caught the eye of Walt Disney himself and influenced the movie&;s overall visual style.
