Tyrus Wong

Tyrus Wong was a Chinese immigrant artist in the early 1900's.  His artistic style and contributions to the world of art went unrecognized for decades.  Of all his work, Wong's contribution to the development of Bambi was most renowned.  He spent two years painting the illustrations for the Disney classic.  Other artists were taught to paint like him.  He endured racial bias for many years while developing beautiful works of art.  In 2001, Wong was finally acknowledged for his contributions as a Disney Legend.
