Scarlett Stahl recently took a outing to a Bay Area to revisit her crony Maggie Richardson, a niece of Mary Blair. As usual, Scarlett’s outing had a smashing Disney flair. She visited an vaunt of “lowbrow” Disney design by Camille Rose Garcia during a Walt Disney Family Museum. As Scarlett explains, a tenure “lowbrow” is by no means derogatory. In fact, a genre is enjoying utterly a lot of seductiveness in a art world, as evidenced by this vaunt during a Museum. Scarlett and Maggie also visited Silverado Winery in a Napa Valley, where they were treated to an insinuate debate of a trickery by Diane Disney Miller. ~~Rick

The outward of a Walt Disney Family Museum in a Presidio in San Francisco.
Tuesday evening, May 9, 2013, was a pre opening accepting of a new art exhibit, Camille Rose Garcia’s Down a Rabbit Hole during a Walt Disney Family Museum in a Presideo of San Francisco, Ca. The vaunt will run by Nov 3, 2013. My friend, Maggie Richardson, a niece of Mary Blair, had invited me to come from Los Angeles to San Francisco for a revisit and to attend a Art Premiere with her, that we was gay to do. There we met her sister, Jeanne Chamberlain and Kevin Allinson, Jeanne’s son.

For a opening, invited guest mingled on a categorical spin of a museum nearby a present shop, while enjoying both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages along with a Wolfgang Puck’s hors d’oeuvres. There they waited their spin to accommodate a artist of a exhibit, Camille Rose Garcia, who is a likeable and appealing woman, and who was dressed in a stay cocktail Gothic character of her art. Her Goth art blends a sentimental cocktail enlightenment of a 60’s, with a satirical indicate on a universe today. Walter E. D. Miller is a fan of all a LA low brow work that reinterprets cocktail enlightenment and of Ms. Garcia’s art, that has led to her vaunt during a WDFM.

Walter’s quote next is reprinted from a WDFM member’s magazine:
I became wakeful of a artist Camille Rose Garcia serendipitously, out of a flourishing seductiveness we had in stone posters. we had been collecting a posters for years, and many of a striking designers who were formulating them began conceptualizing civic vinyl toys. What on Earth was an civic vinyl toy? My oddity about this middle (limited-edition, collectible engineer toys) eventually led me to a repository Juxtapoz, and from there we was introduced to a mind-blowing universe of Garcia and a other artists of supposed “lowbrow art,” or “pop surrealism.
Kevin and Jeanne Chamberlain, Camille Rose Garcia, and Gabriella Calicchio, (CEO of a Walt Disney Family Museum.
What was this lowbrow art? Besides a apparent animation change and amusement instilled in a art, we couldn’t assistance though notice a many references to cocktail enlightenment as amicable commentary. The revisit use of iconic Disney images generally held my eye. This led me to consternation if maybe Walt Disney was a artistic change for Garcia and other lowbrow artists whose work we was apropos informed with.
I conducted an Internet hunt for “lowbrow artists shabby by Walt Disney”, and certain enough, Camille Rose Garcia, Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, and others seemed on my formula page. we was intrigued to learn that Garcia grew adult nearby Disneyland, and that visits to a park had helped enthuse her artistic vision.

We contacted Garcia and asked her to revisit The Walt Disney Family Museum and join us for lunch. During lunch, she talked about how her art—and that of many other lowbrow artists—was creatively discharged by art professors, galleries, and a art universe in ubiquitous for carrying too most amusement and a cartoon-like quality. we couldn’t assistance though consider of a similarities to my grandfather’s story and how he followed his prophesy notwithstanding a insurgency and hurdles he faced.

Walt’s imagination and artistic prophesy definitely shabby many of these artists, such as Garcia, while a corporate blurb success of Walt’s work shabby others creatively in reduction than certain ways. But in a finish many were shabby and inspired, one approach or another by Walt’s legacy, civic vital and cocktail culture, that contributed something to a Low Brow Art movement.

I usually saw a Camille Rose Exhibit and was astounded during how most we LOVED IT!

I suspicion a tone of a purple paint on a walls was electric. At initial we suspicion “What!” and afterwards we pronounced “oh yeah we get it”, as it was an roughly ideal enrich to a Garcia Art…. And a Green on a hostile dual walls during a museum entrance, with Mary Blair’s resisting nonetheless nominal and pleasing Alice was perfect. we could not have been more… we need to use a word “Happy”. This we would contend right now is a “happy place” for me and we unequivocally don’t find myself regulating that word lightly. The art is unequivocally entertaining, even with a downward peek of Garcia’s Alice with her prolonged dangerous, evocative eyelashes and contemplative, maybe endangered or critical glance? Or is it a boot glance… unequivocally unequivocally provocative.
There were a integrate of pieces that we really, unequivocally desired and would adore in my home…the one with a birds, including a smashing swan, and Alice’s behind confronting towards us. we wish we had been means to hear her speak about her art. Hopefully she will be behind to do some-more programs.”

Ms. Garcia’s work has been displayed internationally and featured in countless magazines including Juxtapoz, Rolling Stone, and Modern Painters. It is enclosed in a collections of a Los Angeles County Museum as good as a San Jose Museum of Art.
Downstairs during a WDFM are a resisting versions of Alice by Camille Rose Garcia and Disney Legend Mary Blair, shown side by side. There are 40 works by Ms. Garcia, while there are 10 judgment paintings by Ms. Blair, who is pronounced to have been Walt Disney’s favorite artist by Disney Legend Marc Davis. Ms. Blair’s art was distant forward of a time and is a singly poetic form of complicated art with her talented shining gouache and watercolor art. It appears that Ms. Garcia used a same tone palette as Ms. Blair though instead of a happy ignorance of Ms. Blair’s pleasing childlike Alice, we see a unequivocally opposite chronicle finished by Ms. Garcia. There are elements of John Tenniel’s dim and sinister illustrations for a strange Lewis Carroll Alice books that have been reinterpreted by Ms Garcia in her possess style.

There are opposite strokes for opposite folks. we would adore to possess a good square of art, a Mona Lisa, as we would sell it and use a income to buy Impressionist paintings and Animation Art, that is deliberate to be a American art form. Sacrilege, some competence say!!! But we have to be loyal to myself. we can commend talent though not wish to live with it. we adore Van Gogh’s Fishing Boats on a Beach during Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, as it is colorful and creates me feel happy. we do commend his implausible talent in his other works though would not wish to live with a paintings finished in his vexed period. we privately covet paintings that make me grin and are beautiful, like a ones of Mary Blair and we am not observant this since of my loyalty with Maggie Richardson, Mary Blair’s niece.
However Ms. Garcia’s work is absolute with a unfortunate depiction of a dear iconic figure like Alice portrayed as an svelte figure with tears entrance out of eyes shadowed by hulk spidery eyelashes. And it has a energy that would interest to a younger era today. we consider that viewers need to confirm for themselves by going to perspective her vaunt during a Walt Disney Family Museum.

SILVERADO WINERY

The day after a Camille Rose Garcia preview accepting during a Walt Disney Family Museum, my friend, Maggie Richardson, whom we was visiting, took me to a Silverado Winery, that is owned by Ron Miller and Diane Disney Miller in Napa. High adult on a mountain is a winery, a pleasing structure, that looks like a easy strange home, though was indeed built sincerely recently. After enjoying a tasty potion of booze on a terrace, a stewardess forked out a building below, that was roughly dark by trees, and announced that used to be a home of Lillian Disney. Of course, this was a print op impulse for a loyal Disney fan. Shortly afterward a sorcery escalated with a coming of Diane Disney Miller, Walt Disney’s daughter. As Maggie is a crony of Diane’s, Diane gathering over from her home for a revisit with her. And as we had never met her before, we acknowledge that we took good pleasure in being introduced to her.

When Diane schooled that we had attended a accepting a dusk before during a Walt Disney Family Museum and we was essay about it, she inquired how we favourite a exhibit. She explained that she had been incompetent to attend as she had spent yesterday in Los Angeles arranging an event. When we hesitantly told her my opinion, that we have voiced progressing in this article, she told me to tell a law from my indicate of view.

After a good revisit where we supposed a second potion of their singular wine, she asked if we would like a private tour, that was a topping on a cake for me. She showed us a opposite bedrooms upstairs with all a impossibly pleasing paintings, as in a museum. She explained that she had wanted one portrayal though didn’t know where to put it. When she satisfied that she could hang it over some doors, she bought it and brought it home with pleasure and of march we took a design of it for this article.

When we requested a design of a 3 of us together and asked where she would cite it be taken, she immediately chose a patio with a pleasing view. As a revisit ended, we left with comfortable goodbyes and we could usually marvel during how down to earth and friendly this desirable lady was. And designation chase that we am, we also couldn’t trust that we had lost to ask for an autograph!!!

Please note that Diane and Ron Miller bought their initial vineyard in a 1970’s and sole their grapes to some of a best vintners in Napa, who won awards for their wines year after year. Eventually Diane and Ron began creation their possess wines from their possess grapes and a rest is history. Their name of Silverado came from a deserted mining city during a tip of a Napa Valley. You can revisit their winery and arrange for booze tasting yourself, that we suggest highly.
