I'm a big fan of Mary Blair's work.OK, book arrives in the mail (thanks Amazon) and lo and behold it's just swell. Problems with color reproductions?--well, if the same high standards were applied to about 70% of the art books sold here online--the ones that run UNDER $100--then few would pass muster. Heck, it took me most of last year to scrounge a long-out-of-print copy of a Max Ernst book that was the ONLY one I'd ever encountered where the color was even remotely right. Honestly, the color quality in this Mary Blair book is just fine--a tiny bit muted here and there is about the worst I can say, and no different than a lot of books that feature production art, including some published by Disney.Otherwise, I had no problem with the text (heck, if another reviewer hadn't pointed out that it was largely pulled from something else Canemaker had written about her, I never would have known--and why should the guy rewrite what he's already written anyway?) and the background info, along with production photos are very informative. I'm sure there were problems with rights to some things some of these reviewers wanted to see but maybe they also had evaporated. Heck, I did plenty of concept work that I never saw again and might be hanging on the wall of some project manager or something. Who knows? This isn't art gallery work.So, more perfect book? Sure! A 300 page Mary Blair complete would suit me just fine and I'd find the $100 to pay for it. I'd also like to see ANY extensive Winsor McCay Little Nemo just stay in print for fives minutes and the world hasn't seen a decent Gluyas Williams or Rowland Emett book in nearly 50 years (an if you don't know who either of those guys are it's because there hasn't been a decent book in print for way too long--not having a big and modern Rowland Emett is just plain criminal!). While I'm at it, how about any Arthur Rackham repro that's even a vague ghost of the originals! Ah, for a perfect world! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little book, but not worth the new high price *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2011* If you're interested in Blair's work, this is a nice book, but it's not worth the sudden massive price jump it's taken. (I can only guess it's gone out of print) $45, yes. But these $90+ prices, no.I stupidly delayed buying this book based on reviews from people who have been lucky enough to see Blair's work in person. The thing is, printers can only do so much. They have a total of 4 colors to work with, and can never ever perfectly recreate a painting's true brightness and color. There's a reason people go to museums to see paintings in person. The print quality is frankly, just fine. Nothing sticks out as horribly off or awkward. It has far more content in it that you could ever hope to find just looking online, so I certainly don't regret this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but Blair deserves better *by O***F on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2009* She's one of the legendary artists at Disney, still influential even to this day. I just wish there are even more images in this book. I don't buy the book to read, I buy it because I want to see her art.. She's an artist, let her artwork speak. I'm giving it a four star because this is practically the only book about her that I can find. If anyone else wants to find more of her work in Disney, try scouring the Disney art-of books for some color keys, and character designs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/97129883-the-art-and-flair-of-mary-blair](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/97129883-the-art-and-flair-of-mary-blair) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
