Happy Birthday Mary Blair

Post by agingerbugg » Oct Fri 21, 2011 9:25 am

Today would be Mary Blair's 100th birthday. What better way to celebrate than to think of all the joy and happiness she has brought to the young and young-at-heart over the past 100 years. May her artwork survive for another 100.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Disney parks would not have been the same without Mary Blair!

Her work is so distinctive, it is one of the things you can see out of it's context, and know exactly where it is from. She truly had a gift.
