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

Happy 103 Birthday, Tyrus Wong!

By Ju-osh M. October 25, 2013 Cartoons

Like most animation fans, I first heard of Tyrus Wong via his work on Bambi. Legend has it, that’s the first time Walt Disney heard of him, too!

Okay, so the story goes…

Walt was chomping at the bit to make Bambi, only he was having trouble finding the ‘look’ he wanted for the film. He’d tried ultra-realism, but nixed it. He switched to super cartoony, but again, nope. It was beginning to look like the film would get shelved until late one night, while wandering through his studio, Disney happened upon a small stack of unusual watercolors. They were by a fella named ‘Wong,’ and they were…well, different.

Happy 103 Birthday, Tyrus Wong!黃齊耀103歲生日快樂

如果你是一個迪斯尼迷，你一定看過小鹿斑比. 但你知道黃先生是幕後的主要藝術的貢獻者嗎? 黃先生今年103歲，成為美國最年長動畫的美裔華人。

當年迪士尼準備拍小鹿班比，但一直為動畫中背景畫煩惱，因為在他拍過的動畫中的背景都比較死板，不適用在在小鹿和叢林中生動的互動，直到有一天深亱他経過一間畫室，在圖桌上發現了一疊不尋常的水彩畫，打聼之下，原來是一個姓黃的小仔畫的，哇呀，從那時起，黃就被發覺，成為班比小鹿動畫的最大功臣.

Reading from other articles from the web, you will find Wong's life is quite interesting; he was born October 25, 1910 Taishan, Guangdong, China 台山 In 1920, when he was 9 years old, Wong and his father emigrated to the United States, and never again came into contact with Wong's mother and sister. Tyrus was held on Angel Island initially, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act. He was separated on the island from his father, the only child in sight. "Nine years old, I was scared half to death," he said.

After his release from Angel Island, he and his father initially relocated to Sacramento, and then his father decided to move to Los Angeles.

Wong worked for Disney from 1938-1941 It was his lush pastels that served as inspiration for Bambi (1942) where he was the lead artist of the project.

Wong left Disney studios shortly after finishing Bambi, due to repercussions from the Disney animators' strike. Later, he designed popular greeting cards for Hallmark, some of his Christmas cards selling over 1 million copies.

After retiring in 1968, Wong continued to create colorful kites (usually animals such as pandas, goldfish, or centipede). He spent his Saturdays flying his creations on the Santa Monica Pier.

從網路的其他文章描述中你會發現黃的生活是很有趣的，他生於1910年10月25日廣東台山，1920年當他9歲那年，他和父親移居美國。但和父親分離被關在天使島.

從天使島放出來後他和父親開搬到加州薩克拉門托，然後搬到洛杉磯。

1938-1941 黃在迪斯尼負責小鹿斑比的首席藝術家。後來由於迪斯尼動畫師罷工影響,黃離開迪斯尼。後來，他設計的賀卡，一些聖誕賀卡銷售超過100萬份。

1968年退休後至今，黃熱衷於創造五顏六色的風箏（通常以動物為造型，如大熊貓，金魚或蜈蚣）。
