Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong, 2015

Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong, organized by the Walt Disney Family Museum, was exhibited at MOCA in 2015. The retrospective surveyed the 20th-century artist’s extensive body of work. Wong began his artistic career in 1930s California as a Depression-era muralist, watercolorist, and later film production illustrator. His work ranges from painting, ceramics, works on paper, and kite creations. Wong’s vision and impressionistic style, with Eastern influences, paved the way for the animation of Bambi (1942). His work continued with several Warner Bros. films. As his works conjured stunning environments, he was named a Disney Legend in 2001.This exhibition served to highlight Wong’s great artistic achievements and brought attention to his legacy as a Chinese in America.

展览“水天一色:黄齐耀艺术展”由怀特迪士尼家族博物馆整理,于2015年在美国华人博物馆展出。这个回顾展检视了这位二十世纪艺术家大量的作品。黄齐耀在二十世纪三十年代的加州开始他的艺术生涯,当时他是大萧条时期的壁画家、水彩画家、后来又成为电影插画家。他的作品涵盖了绘画、陶艺、纸上作品、和风筝创作。他的视野和印象派风格,带着东方的影响,为1942年《小鹿斑比》的动画打下基础。之后他在华纳兄弟的几部电影中延续他的创作。由于他的作品变幻令人震撼的情境,黄齐耀在2001年被名为“迪斯尼传奇”。该展彰显了黄齐耀的伟大艺术成就,并引起人们对他作为美国华人的艺术传承的关注。
