Artifact Overview
Mary Blair was the artist for this silkscreen print, used in a guest room at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Walt Disney World. It was adapted from a massive tile mural she had created for this resort's central atrium. Mary's depictions of Native Americans might be criticized as racial stereotyping, but at the time they were thought to exude a sense of playful exuberance.
