It All Starts Again with a Mouse: Disney Recycled by Contemporary Art

By the mid-1960s, Disney films enjoyed immense universal popularity. Since the release of Snow White, a generation had been raised on his films and had not forgotten them. Pop Art made Mickey and Donald into icons, and artists continue to be inspired by Disney’s legacy today. This section shows some thirty works based on Disney characters, created by a diverse group of modern and contemporary artists that includes Gary Baseman, Christian Boltanski, Gottfried Helnwein, Bertrand Lavier, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Peter Saul and Andy Warhol. As French painter Robert Combas said in 1977, “Mickey is no longer Walt’s property, he belongs to us all.”
