If someone who is interested in modern art avoids visiting this exhibition on the grounds that it is an exhibition of Disney cartoons which a TV station organizes for families or couples, this would be a big mistake. In this exhibition, we can enjoy various kinds of works, such as water-color paintings, animations, picture books, designs, wall paintings and conceptual works regarding theme parks, all of which were made by Mary Blair who always expresses a dynamic perspective of the world. This exhibition provides us with amazement and happiness and the exhibits create a stronger impression than many modern art exhibitions. Among the exhibits, which number more than five hundred, particularly notable creations are illustrations used for picture books, advertisement designs, a wall painting used in “It’s a Small World” and design works, all of which are displayed in an exhibition room on the first floor. Mary Blair, who is known for her work as a colorist, has created colorful works and designed characters which give us a charming image. Her creations have not become dated even though they have existed a long time, and they are still worth seeing today. In addition, I think it is commendable that this retrospective exhibition has been realized in Japan though Mary Blair is virtually unknown to most Japanese people. (Translated by Nozomi Nakayama)
