Editor's Note:
While considered to be the original designer of Disneyland,having created the first, overall, concept drawing,Herbert Dickens Ryman was certainly the catalyst...In a definitive, memoir biography, of a definitive artist,Warp and Weft: Life Canvas of Herbert Ryman is of the weavethat made up the man...and of those who would leave it a tangle.It is a story you have not heard before.John Stanley Donaldson is uniquely qualified to tell this tale, having had the privilege to know Herbert Ryman, of family, over a period of thirty years.Augment to memory, material for this work has been fromfiles of documents...and miles of tape recordings...all, owned by the author, and previously unreleased. Herbert Dickens Ryman was witness, to high points of history.Starting in the art department of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, under Cedric Gibbons, he contributed to thescreen styling of such classics as David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, Mutiny on the Bounty,The Good Earth. From friendship with George Stanley, sculptor of the Academy Award statuette, andFredric Hope, its base, Warp and Weft finds the enigma of "Oscar," in line with development of sound;when Hollywood moved from silents...to squawkies...to talkies.Setting-out on a one-year, world tour, Herbert was literally, of widened horizon...in London, makingacquaintance with Walter Lamb, once of the Bloomsbury group of literati that included Virginia Woolf;or Peking, and meeting Edgar Snow...Red Star Over China being run through a Remington Rand,when Ryman arrived. He would participate in street demonstration, protesting policy of Chiang Kai-shek;and from revolution to evolution, stay in the Sinanthropus pekinensis study of Teilhard de Chardin.As life is but a Warp and Weft, weave of things, it is shown, in one instance, how a chance meeting inChina, of love lost, would lead the artist to a mending in Maine...and from such summer of watercolor,be invited to join the Walt Disney Studios...then preparing Bambi. Being of few who would be acceptedwithin familial circle, Herb became a Walt confidant. We learn of boyhood acquaintance...to date,historically unknown, assisting in early animation...as well as what inspired Mickey Mouse.And from the worldwide phenomenon that was Mickey Mouse...even awing an audience in Manchuli,out in inner Mongolia, Walt Disney advances the herky-jerky cartoon to animation art. Herb Ryman iswith him for Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Dumbo, and is enlisted into "El Grupo," a small team of artists ontour of South America...resulting in Saludos Amigos. And then...there is the "lost weekend," in whichWalt and Herb hurry, to design Disneyland...Warp and Weft is a tapestry of untold tales...
