We saw the
Bill Peet exhibit at the
Art Institute this weekend.
Bill Peet was a great
storyman at Disney who storyboarded all of The Sword in the Stone and 101
Dalmatians. The exhibit has 2 large photos of his storyboards from Sword in the Stone as well as some character sketches for Dumbo and mice sketches for Cinderella. A bunch of his illustrations for children's books line a long hallway. Among the those are some fun illustrations from his
autobiography. I really enjoyed the drawings of him working at Disney and in his home studio. The exhibit closes in a week (on Sun, May 24
th), so if you're in Chicago and haven't seen it yet, I would highly
recommend it. To celebrate the opening of the new modern art wing, the
museum is free
until the 22
nd. Also, the
museum is open until 8:00 on Thursdays, so it's a great idea to go after work with friends.
