Gustav Tenggren, one of the most important concept artists from the Walt Disney Studios, began his career in 1936, working on The Old Mill, Little Hiawatha and the Robber Kittens. His most important contribution to Disney was the artwork he completed on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and even more so, Pinocchio. Mr. Tenggren worked for Disney for five years and left to become a famous children's book illustrator. This is the largest collection of Gustav Tenggren artwork to be offered at one time, his pencil drawings are particularly rare.
