Queequeg Pursuing Moby Dick, 1956
There have been some exceptional art shows in Los Angeles this year, and another just opened this week: "The Fine Art of Marc Davis" at Glendale's Forest Lawn Museum.
Horses Seeing Red, 1950
From the creative mind that conjured Tinker Bell and Maleficent, come these fabulous images in oil, charcoal, acrylics and watercolor.
1956 Romance
According to his widow Alice, Marc would come home from the Disney studio in the evening, relax in front of the television, and work on his projects. While watching football, boxing or a rodeo, Marc would sketch nature, harlequins, bullfighters, mythological creatures and abstracts.
Marc's Tree, 1958
The exhibit also contains a few of his beautiful sculptural pieces, including a Roman helmet made of wire, which I am particularly obsessed with. It was just another side of this remarkable talent.
The exhibit runs through July 26, and it's FREE ...and so is parking.

There's no way I'm going to miss seeing these! Gotta go to Burbank.
Genius.
I live in the wrong country dammit!
Awesome post. I love the Moby Dick Painting!
If you like "Marc's Tree" check out the special edition Sleeping Beauty DVD that came out a few months ago. In the special features is a short called "4 Artists Paint 1 Tree" it follows the artistic processes of Disney Legends Marc Davis, Eyvind Earle, Josh Meador, and Walt Peregoy as the four of them paint the same Oak Tree at the same time. "Marc's Tree" is the result of that short!
Great stuff!
Thanks for passing on the info! I went to the gallery and Marc's work is beautiful!
Thanks,
Randy
