Description

Fred Moore - "Freddie's Girl" Original Illustration (c. 1940s). By the unmistakable hand of animator and Disney Legend Fred Moore (1911 - 1952), presented here is a lovely original drawing featuring one of his famous "Freddie's Girls". Thanks primarily to his natural talent elevated by a handful of bartered night classes at Chouinard, Moore began his career with Walt Disney Studios in 1930 at the young age of 19. He would quickly become well known around the Studio for his charming drawings of innocently attractive women known as "Freddie's Girls". The illustration offered here has been rendered loosely in graphite and mixed media to an image area of 7.25" x 8" on a sheet of 12 field 5-peghole animation paper. This drawing was originally held in the personal archive of another Disney Legend, Ollie Johnston (1912 - 2008), with similar artwork featured on page 121 of Johnston's 1981 co-authored book Disney Animation The Illusion of Life (prints included for reference). With typical handling and edge wear including faint age-related toning and minor corner creasing, overall this meditative lass is in Very Good condition.
From the Disney Legend Inductee Andreas Deja Collection.
