(Disneyland, 1963) An incredible and extremely rare painting by Stan Galli for a United Air Lines Travel Poster. Galli, a noted and popular Illustration and advertising artist, was flown to the Disney Studio in the 1960s to meet Walt Disney and present him with ideas for a travel poster for United Air Lines. Disney suggested that Galli tour the park to get a feel and understanding of Walt's vision. After the tour, Galli came up with the idea of combining two memorable images of the park, the exotic "Jungle Cruise" attraction and the elegant "Sleeping Beauty Castle". This study painting was presented to the studio and, after a few alterations to clothing and the positioning of the castle, the final artwork was realized. This piece has been signed by Galli in the lower-right corner. Retained by the Galli family until 2014, this painting is one of the only examples of original Disney poster artwork that we have ever seen. An iconic image and an incredible artifact of Disneyland history. Painting measures 30"x18.75" on artist's board. In good condition with some edge and corner wear.
