These few scenes, showing Milt's wire sculptures with some dimension, were filmed at his home in Marin county. A little bit of the footage made it into the final 1/2 hour Disney Family Album episode, the rest are outtakes.
I wished the cameraman would have circled around the sculptures more, since that is the best way to show real depth. Nevertheless, these pieces are full of elegance and intelligent simplicity.
Just like in Milt's animation drawings, what he leaves out is as fascinating to watch as what he puts in.

ReplyDeleteThanks You.
These are everything I love about line drawing and animation with a beautiful 3D touch.
ReplyDeleteYes! You can really tell that an animator made these. He so confidently caricatures the human figure, getting maximum energy, grace, and style from it.
DeleteAre any of his wire sculptures on display? or are they primarily in private collections?
ReplyDeleteThey are with the family.
DeleteHi I saw a couple of Milt Kahl's wire sculptures in the Walt Disney Family Museum annex building last year. They were incredible. No photography was allowed.
DeleteBeautiful. Since you enjoy doing wire sculpting yourself, I've been wondering if you've had a chance to draw in Virtual Reality yet? It's pretty much like wire sculpting, but as if the wire was coming out of your pencil (and without having to worry about balance and holding it all together). If you haven't tried it, I think you'd love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and inspiring.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. I had dinner with Milt in his home, along with John Freeman and Skip Jones. We talked long about his wire frame sculptures placed around his living room, the dining area, throughout. He was a beautiful spirit, and I'm blessed that I was invited to go along.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your memories.
