Happy birthday to Jasper Johns, born 83 years ago today!
When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive. – Jasper Johns

In 1945 Jack Warner hosted a party where Walt Disney and Salvador Dali first met. The two became fast friends, deciding to collaborate on a short film. Dali worked with Disney’s artistic director John Hench for three months before funding for the project dissipated. The short film entitled Destino, named after a Spanish ballad, sat in a warehouse until 1999 when Roy Disney, Walt’s nephew, unearthed the story boards. Roy brought Disney’s Studios France on board to complete the project, released in 2003. A number of Destino proofs have since been released, one of which hangs in the gallery here at Baterbys.
