For more than a dozen years, a soft spoken, unassuming woman
dominated design at The Walt Disney Studios with a joyful
creativity and exuberant color palette that stamped the look of
many classic Disney animated features, including "Cinderella" and
"Peter""Pan." Favorite theme park attractions, most notably the
"It's A Small World" boat ride, originally created for the 1964 New
York World's Fair, were also among her designs. Now the story
behind one of Walt's favorite artists is celebrated in this
delightful volume of whimsical art and insightful commentary. In
her prime, Mary Blair was an amazingly prolific American artist who
enlivened and influenced the not-so-small worlds of film, print,
theme parks, architectural decor, and advertising. Her art
represented and communicated pure pleasure to the viewer. Mary
Blair's personal flair was at one with the imagery that flowed
effortlessly and continually from her brush for more than half a
century. Walt Disney loved her art and championed it at the Studio.
The two shared many sensibilities, including a childlike fondness
for playfulness in imagery.

A fascinating survey of pioneering work in experimental cinema and
art from 1905 to the present day, revealing the high stakes and
transformative potential of these forms This generously illustrated
publication surveys the work of filmmakers and artists who have
pushed the material and conceptual boundaries of cinema. Over the
past century, the material, optical, abstract, spatial, and tactile
properties of film have been tested at a level of experimentation
and utopian ambition that is generally unrecognized. Whether
creating synesthetic or 3-D environments, projective or
non-projective installations, generations of leading-edge artists
have explored how technology transforms experience. The essays
published here offer an intensive look at the themes of cinematic
space, formats of the screen, animation and CGI, the body and the
cyborg, and the materiality of film. Contributors place particular
emphasis on the idea of the cinema as a sensorium and on the ways
in which it defines the human body, both through representation and
in relation to the projected image. An immersive plate section
brings together rarely seen and previously unpublished stills, in
addition to concept drawings from historic and contemporary films.
