Some weeks ago I
spent four days with the Tenggren holdings at the Kerlan Collection by the
University of Minnesota, MN. I was there to do research for my Tenggren
biography, which is planned to be released autumn 2014. I had the opportunity
to browse through a number of interesting items of Tenggren’s, among these this
little folder from the Saturday Evening Post from September 1956, presumably an
in-house staff publication. Also in November 1956, the famous
Tenggren cover for Saturday Evening Post with Walt Disney on the train was published, illustrating Diane
Disney Miller’s article “My dad Walt Disney”. The folder describes the process
of the cover from idea to finished painting.
It’s great
to see Ken Stuart’s sketches for the various cover ideas, compared with
Tenggren’s final well-known artwork. Especially the little addition of Jiminy
Cricket is fun to learn about.
