A Brush With Disney- “An Artist’s Journey Told Through The Words And Works Of Herbert Dickens Ryman” is also the title of a spectacular book all about the legacy of Herb Ryman. Herb Ryman was that rare artist who easily bridged both the commerical and fine arts throughout his long career. Disney fans know him for his inspiring illustrations of Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland & Disneyland Paris. He started his career at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer working on such classics as "David Copperfield” and "Mutiny On The Bounty”. His last work at MGM was the Emerald City segment of “The Wizard Of Oz”. He also worked on "Ana and the King of Siam” for 20th Century Fox. By 1938, he had joined Walt Disney Studios to work on Pinocchio. He also served as the Art Director on Dumbo, Fantasia, and Victory Through Air Power. He worked on The Three Caballeros & Saludos Amigos as a Art Supervisor. Herb Ryman’s stunning conceptual drawings of Walt Disney’s Disneyland, Walt Disney World & EPCOT, have inspired viewers since his very first 1953 drawings of the proposed amusement park helped to secure the needed $17 million dollars from the bankers to build the park. Walt’s fabulous parks have always been in a constant state of moving forward. Herb Ryman’s talents were responsible for the beautiful original concepts drawings for: Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle, Walt Disney World’s Cinderella Castle and both iconic Castles at Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
