Description
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Courvoisier Multiplane 3D Setup (Walt Disney, 1937). Courvoisier Galleries was the first company to recognize cels and drawings used in the production of Disney Studios animated features as fine art. They were also the first to be given a license to sell studio artwork, which they did through art galleries and department stores from the late '30s through the mid '40s. But for Courvoisier, what little early original Disney artwork there is available today would not exist. This is an extraordinary example of one of the rarest forms of animation art that Courvoisier sold. It is a 3-dimensional setup used in Disney's revolutionary Multiplane filming process. While other studios had experimented with similar ideas, Disney is credited with perfecting the multiplane camera on a grand scale for use in the feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The process allowed for up to seven layers of animation at once. Images were painted in oil on glass and could be set at different depths to create dimensional environments. This is a scene with Snow White and some of her woodland friends painted on multiple layers of glass over an airbrushed background. It is in its original Courvoisier Frame with original sticker on back. The 7.75" x 8.25" frame has an opening that measures 5.5" x 6". It shows minor handling and edge wear. Condition is Very Good. Frame is sold as-is.Auction Info
