Even if you haven’t heard of Mary Blair (1911–1978), you’re probably very familiar with some of her classic illustrations and designs. Just close your eyes and imagine the colorful, iconic faces of the children depicted in the “It’s a Small World” attraction at any Walt Disney Park, or visualize the well-loved images in theGolden Book of Little Verses that most of us read as children. All of that—and much more—sprang from the sharp mind and nimble paintbrush of Mary Blair.
