Artist Frank Serrano posted this on Facebook, and I can’t resist putting it up here on my blog.

Walt Disney speaks on Robert Henri’s ” The Art Spirit”.

I vividly recall seeing this short film somewhere in grade school, which for myself was over forty years back. Of course I hadn’t read Robert Henri’s  book “The Art Spirit” at that point, but certainly have since.  I didn’t realize that I’d adopted the notion of painting “ideas, not pictures” from that source, either, but I surely have.

Walt Disney was a giant, and a very good one at that.
