In Background Artist: The Life and Work of Tyrus Wong, film scholar and cultural critic Karen Fang illuminates the life of a hidden figure of the twentieth-century whose prolific contributions span popular culture — from Disney to Hallmark to Warner Bros — and shape the American imagination. A journey from an offshore detention center to the worlds of art and Hollywood — where Wong’s work informed REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, THE WILD BUNCH, and belatedly, BAMBI. Background Artist is a stirring testament to the transformative power of art and creation as vivid as the enchanting images of the unsung hero. A pinnacle of Disney magic, BAMBI features Tyrus Wong’s stunning art direction, rich with expressionistic bursts of color and light, which elevate the tale of the lonely white-tailed fawn from mere children’s entertainment to high art.
