Nearly all of America, if not the world, has seen his work, and most likely has been deeply moved by it. But few could tell you his name. Even fewer are aware of the impact his work has had, and continues to have, on American art and popular culture. At 105, he is America’s oldest living Chinese American artist and one of the last remaining artists from the golden age of Disney animation. “Tyrus Wong’s story is a prime example of one of the many gaping holes in our society’s narrative on art, cinema, and Western history. By telling his story, I hope to shine light on one of America’s unsung heroes, and to raise awareness of the vital contributions he’s made to American culture,”ex- plains filmmaker Pamela Tom. Tyrus Wong was born in Canton (now Guangzhou), China in1910, right before the fall of the Chinese Empire. In 1919, he and his father immigrate to America, never to see their family again. Like other Chinese immigrants, Tyrus’s adventure to the “Gold Mountain” begins in a locked cell at the Angel Island Immigration Station, where a frightened nine-year-old Tyrus is interrogated and detained for over a month. It’s a time of miserable suffering, yet it does not break Tyrus’s spirit. “As a descendant of an Angel Island paperson, I know that the real story is not just what the immigrant experienced on the island, but what the immigrant accomplished afterwards. Because the art of Tyrus Wong has touched so many people, I saw his story as “Exhibit A” to illustrate the con- tribution of Asian immigrants in America,”notes executive producer Buck Gee. Tyrus’s only interests are to paint and draw. Too broke to afford ink or paper, his father fosters his son’s artistic talents by having Tyruspractice calligraphy by dipping brushes in water and leaving an impression on old newspapers. Although he is a self-proclaimed “lousy student,” Tyrus earns a scholarship from the Otis Art Institute while in junior high school and also takes advantage of the nearby Los Angeles Central Library, where he studies the art of the Sung Dynasty in his free time. But it isn’tan entirely academic, intellectual path: Tyrus takes on a number of odd jobs to make ends meet, from serving as a waiter in the bohemian underground Chinatown restaurant Dragon’s Den to picking asparagus in the fields. “The plight of the Chinese was very different in the early 1900s.

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.
