CBS Morning Interview

Hello Friends, please tune in to CBS Sunday Morning tomorrow at 8:00 am - 9:30 am CST, to learn about Golden Era Hollywood motion picture backdrop painting, the ADG Archives Backdrop Recovery Project, and training future generations of scenic artists. These historic MGM backdrops have now become priceless teaching tools in scenic art training in the US and the UK. UT Austin is fortunate to have 50 historic backings from the masters of Hollywood painting. Thank you to JC Backings for donating these assets to raise the next generation. Thank you to all of the Hollywood scenic artists who generously shared their work and stories for The Art of the Hollywood Backdrop book. You are our inspiration. You are who stretch us to grow as artists. The bar is high.
