DescriptionDescription: Gustaf Tenggren became John Bauer’s most important successor as the illustrator of Tomtar och troll. Initially he remained close to Bauer’s style but soon developed his own form of expression which was more glamorous and colourful. Tenggren soon moved to the USA. When Walt Disney – inspired by the wealth of European fairy tales – wanted to employ an artist to provide inspiration for the feature films Snow White (1937and och Pinocchio (1940), Tenggren was the obvious choice.
