Description
Peter Pan 18" x 24" Oversized Storybook Illustration Cel with Key Master Background by Ron Dias (Walt Disney, c. 1980s/90s). An enchanting piece of original storybook art, this sweeping Peter Pan illustration by celebrated Disney artist Ron Dias (1937-2013) captures the exhilarating moment Peter and Tinker Bell whisk Wendy, John, and Michael high above London. Silhouetted against Big Ben, the quintet arcs toward "the second star to the right," while Tink's shimmering trail of pixie dust spirals through gauzy clouds drifting past the Great Clock of Westminster. The character imagery is hand-painted on 18" x 24" acetate, showcasing Dias's deft airbrush work for the luminous dust effects and atmospheric cloud layers-a hallmark of his refined color styling and background sensibilities. A Honolulu native, Dias launched his Disney career after a 1956 national design contest, contributing as in-betweener and clean-up artist on Sleeping Beauty before blossoming into a background painter, character designer, art director, and color stylist. His five-decade résumé spans Disney, Hanna-Barbera, Don Bluth, The Secret of NIMH, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Disney's limited-edition cel programs. Oversized and visually cinematic, this one-of-a-kind artwork radiates classic storybook magic. In Very Good condition with edge wear, corner wear, and peeling tape on the protective overlay cel-a terrific centerpiece for Ron Dias and Peter Pan collectors alike.Auction Info
