This book is the first to put his achievements in the context of a career that took him from studies in Paris to the Copenhagen theater, to galleries in London and New York, to the Walt Disney Studios, presenting fresh insights into his life and work as well as his materials and techniques. Dazzling reproductions of original watercolors and drawings from one of the premier collections of Nielsen's work invite viewers to enter the enchanted world of an imaginative and supremely gifted artist.\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Copenhagen and educated in Paris, \u003cb\u003eKay Nielsen\u003c\/b\u003e (1886-1957) gained international recognition for his exquisite gift book illustrations, notably his masterpieces \u003ci\u003eEast of the Sun and West of the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e (1914) and \u003ci\u003eFairy Tales by Hans Andersen\u003c\/i\u003e (1924). In contrast to some of his contemporaries, Nielsen often focused on the melancholic or dramatic elements of tales, creating memorable visual sequences reflecting themes of love, passion, loss and death. During the last stage of his career, he collaborated with Walt Disney Studios on the landmark animation film \u003ci\u003eFantasia\u003c\/i\u003e, and produced several public art commissions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram Publisher Services","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46356200685740,"sku":"9780878468805","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6626\/7820\/files\/21013053482500.jpg?v=1781634547","url":"https:\/\/giftshop.carlemuseum.org\/products\/9780878468805","provider":"The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
