Joshua Meador, "I Dreamt I Was Painting"

The San Francisco Chronicle's Alfred Frankenstein wrote, "Joshua Meador's landscapes are free, breezy, vigorous, full of subtle touches of painter-craft to suggest movement and atmosphere and relationships in space."

The LA Times art Critic Arthur Miller wrote "Joshua Meador has the happy faculty of seeing a picture in everything from wharves to hills and paints his scenes with striking realism ... sees the outdoors with fresh eyes and a good sense of what many people can enjoy.

"I Dreamt I Was Painting," expresses what Josh was all about.

He once said, "I think I'm inclined toward impressionism ... I want to paint and interpret the way I feel and not be influenced by any one school. ... I like to select a subject according to the emotional quality and enjoy painting it emotionally rather than breaking it down to rule, form or dynamic symmetry."

Video Intro for "Joshua Meador: I Dreamt I Was Painting"

Today, Joshua Meador is revered as one of the pioneering fathers of early animation.

After graduating the Art Institute in Chicago, Josh's first job at the Disney Studios was to serve as lead animator on Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. Throughout his career, he made significant contributions for every major studio project though Mary Poppins in 1964. He was one of the directors of Fantasia in 1939 and was a member of the Disney effects team winning an Oscar for 20,000 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
