I've seen a Marvin Davis sketch (dated 1953) of a potential Disneyland layout, and it included a haunted mansion all by itself on the banks of a river (reminds me of a certain house we know). It was just a tiny blip on an aerial map though, so no evidence of what type of design Marv may have been envisioning for such a house at that point in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-55242723436368935552017-07-22T17:19:30.585-07:002017-07-22T17:19:30.585-07:00?

He suffered too much in a concentration camp to become a Communist - believe it. If it had been the case, I am sure he would not have been able to continue on in the endeavors and jobs he held. I too have some of his drawings/renderings, other family members have some, his drawings are out there. But he was a mysterious and somewhat secretive personality so it is not a wonder that not much is known of him publicly. Disney employed many artists, and many talented ones.

Usually with concept art, there is at least a half-hearted attempt to put the subject in an environment similar to expected Disneyland reality. In this case we have a <i>huge</i> cemetery covered with unkept grass, an impossible setting by any stretch, so I don't think it's concept art for the park attraction.HBG2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05073387557562504315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-87179888680740505782013-07-19T00:00:13.850-07:002013-07-19T00:00:13.850-07:00Just wondering -- I've only recently read, tha...Just wondering -- I've only recently read, that the original 1964 "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House" LP's cover art, credited to Paul Wenzel, would have been "conceptual art" for the Disneyland mansion.

I met with his granddaughter in CA. Story goes, he was one of his top artist from 54-57, he was then conceived to be a communist. At that point Walt had ALL of his art associated with Disney destroyed. He was then shoved out, cast out from the Disney family of artistry. He was an AMAZING detailist and animator. She has inherited most of his "hidden trasures" from the late 50's. Most of it concept art for the park itself.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578383547988353070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444762441887107389.post-43300059164202472962010-12-03T23:15:09.646-08:002010-12-03T23:15:09.646-08:00Disney really should have gone back and used the o...Disney really should have gone back and used the original 1957 Sam McKim concept for Mystic Manor in Hong Kong.
