Week 2 - Tyrus Wong

Tyrus Wong the magic behind Bambi

Tyrus Wong, a Chinese-American artist, most notable for his amazing work and contribution to our beloved childhood movie, Bambi. Ever since I learned about Wong's ethereal pastel works, I have begun to admire more of the inner-workings of animations and the effort it takes to produces them. Although Tyrus Wong faced discrimination and alienation from his time in the production, his determination and endurance showed how strong of a person he was and will continue to be a role model to other under appreciated Chinese-Americans artists.

Today’s Inspiration: Tyrus Wong

These days I have been feeling lost on what I should be and what I should do. Notice the word “should”. “Should” means I think I know what I need to do, but in reality, it doesn’t align with my soul, heart and spirit. Pam, if I don’t feel aligned, use it as a message to move on and find something to build my momentum! 

Today, in my to-do list, the first thing I wrote was to observe Tyrus Wong’s illustrations. There are some wonderful posts of his work and his life I’ve reblogged and I will like to include more resources in this Tumblr world.

Round the Clock: Chinese American Artists Working in Los Angeles Vince Price Art Museum Exhibition

Interview with the Curator Sonia Mok HuffPost Article mentions: 

the discrimination towards Chinese Americans and the struggles they faced 

the path each artist took to build their career 

the combination of their influences and how it inspired each artist differently

“What the show presents is more than just Chinese art or American art. The works offer insight into each artist’s multiple creative fluencies and cultural perspectives. Their career choices, their relationships throughout the art community, and their connectedness (or lack thereof) to the Chinese American community reveal a great deal about how these individual artists derived meaning from their work.”

Happy National Color Day! I made this digital sketch after studying Tyrus Wong, a Chinese American artist who combined a Western style of painting with the calligraphic brush style of the Chinese Sung dynasty. Mr. Wong was brought to the United States by his father at the age of 11 and spent 3 weeks in a detention facility waiting for permission to join him. He endured much hardship as a child and a young man, but persevered to become one of the most significant American artists of all time. While working at the Walt Disney Studio his ethereal style influenced the look and tone of the movie Bambi, though he was not credited for it at the time. Mr. Wong went on to create preproduction illustration for Warner Brothers, gallery paintings, greeting cards, painted silk scarves, and the most incredible kites I’ve ever seen. There are short videos about him on YouTube, and the PBS American Masters documentary “Tyrus” is worth watching. #illustrator #illustration #artistsoninstagram #inspiration #tyruswong https://www.instagram.com/p/BpP6FeeHv0S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h31c8r8kvh4q
