  • Mary Poppins (Film, 1964) Pour Les Articles Homonymes, Voir Mary Poppins
    Mary Poppins (film, 1964) Pour les articles homonymes, voir Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins est un film musical américain de Robert Stevenson adapté du roman du même nom de Pamela Lyndon Travers et sorti en 1964. Mêlant prises de vues réelles et ani mation, il est considéré comme le 23e long-métrage d'animation des studios Disney. Après une longue période de tractations entre Walt Disney et Pamela Travers pour obt enir les droits d'adaptation, la production du film commence en 1960 pour s'ache ver en 1964. Cette période fait l'objet d'un long métrage de fiction, Dans l'ombre d e Mary (Saving Mr. Banks) réalisé par John Lee Hancock, sorti en 2013. Révélant le talen t de Julie Andrews et confirmant celui de Dick Van Dyke, Mary Poppins est l'une des productions Disney les plus chaleureusement accueillies par le public et la presse, remportant de nombreux prix (dont 5 Oscars), bien que certains spécialiste s estiment que sa forme rappelle plus les années 1940 que le milieu des années 1960. Le film est remarquable sur plusieurs points, comme le traitement en « comédie musi cale » ou le mélange entre prises de vue réelles et animation, même si cette dernière, qui constitue pourtant l'activité originelle des studios Disney, passe au second plan , phénomène qui s'amplifiera dans les décennies suivantes. Réalisé à une période qui voit l'in stitutionnalisation des critiques chez une élite intellectuelle devenue le fer de lance des détracteurs de Disney, Mary Poppins est aussi une uvre-testament qui cour onne la carrière de Walt Disney, mort deux ans plus tard.

Reaching back to 1919, nine-year- old Tyrus and his father left their village and family in China. Tyrusʼs incredible journey takes him from the Angel Island Immigration Station in San Francisco where he is detained and interrogated, to earning a scholarship to Otis Art Institute. During his 85-year career as a fine and commercial artist, Tyrus crosses paths with the likes of Picasso and Matisse, Walt Disney and Warner Bros. along the way. Although his design work was crucial to the animated classic Bambi and over 100 live-action movies including The Music Man, Rebel Without a Cause and The Wild Bunch, the name Tyrus Wong remains largely unknown – until now. Tyrusʼs life weaves an extraordinary thread in the tapestry of the American experience. ABOUT TYRUS WONG TYRUS is Tyrus Wong, a living legend. Nearly all of America, if not the world, has seen his work, and most likely has been deeply moved by it.

    Art History 476 The Art of Walt Disney Professor Vanessa Schwartz Spring 2021 Via Zoom, Thursdays: 2-4:50pm PST Join URL: https://usc.zoom.us/j/95715809944 Office hours: by appointment [email protected] Course Description: This course focuses on the most influential figure of the world of commercial art in the twentieth century: Walt Disney. It looks at the entire trajectory of his career, from his earliest films to Walt Disney World, with an emphasis on external artistic forces such as German expressionism (among many others) that shaped the art of the studio’s animated features as well as an examination of how museums and the world of “high art” acknowledged and lauded the “genius” of Disney and his studio as innovators in the art of animation. It covers the entire period of Disney’s life and also considers his creative ambitions at Disneyland and the World’s Fairs and his persistent commitment to narrative in art. The course will thus introduce students to the work of the studio as well as Imagineering during his lifetime, but will also look at how such work circulated in places such as museums and venues of high culture and its impact on his reputation and success. Additionally, we may visit the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco and Disneyland, pandemic permitting.
