Toby Bluth - The Shining Gem of Disney Art

Walt Disney was a man who had an amazing ability to inspire other people to remarkable creative achievements. Toby Bluth happens to be one of those shining gems of talent that to this day draws inspiration from the life and work of Walt Disney. Starting with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs then continuing with Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo and Bambi, the first five feature length films to come out of Walt Disney Studios, according to Bluth, are the five gems in the crown of animation’s royal history.

Just as those five films marked Walt’s grand entrance into feature length storytelling they, quite appropriately, set the stage for the first five limited edition giclĂ©es in Bluth’s Disney Fine Art portfolio. Infused with all the depth, texture and richness of Toby’s original watercolors these fine prints will be enjoyed for generations, very much in the spirit of the timeless classics that inspired them.

“Creating the moment that you think you saw…” is how Toby Bluth describes his approach in conceiving each one of his watercolor masterpieces. Believing that how one remembers a film is often different from the actual film itself, Toby paints what he perceives as the collective memory of a film experience and taps into the emotional essence of the story.
