Joe D'Igalo watercolor painting
Watercolor of an Eastern small town landscape, by artist Joe D'Igalo (1898-1987), a well known Disney artist.
A U.S. Army veteran of World War 1, Joe added the D' to his surname after going to Chicago to study art. He began his career as an animator with Walt Disney Studios in 1930, leaving for Walter Lantz and subsequently for Warner Bros.' Schlesinger Studio, where he worked for directors Jack King and Frank "Tish Tash" Tashlin.
D'Igalo was on the Fleischer Studios' animation staff from 1938-41, and was part of the team animating their 1939 feature "Gulliver's Travels." He subsequently worked with Wilding Pictures in Chicago. On retiring in 1969, Joe returned to Santa Fe and opened his own art gallery.
