Alan Maley Biography Alan Maley was a fine artist as well as an Academy Award winning Hollywood visual effects specialist.He was born on January 4, 1931, in bucolic Surrey in England.In contrast to many painters, he came from an artistic family and thus was encouraged in his artistic pursuits from the time he was young. In the 1950s Maley studied at the Reigate College of Art and then served a five-year apprenticeship in the British film industry. In British film, he worked his way up from a humble sign painter to the essential technical specialty of matte painting.Matte paintings are a way to create a false background, extending the set, which is done by blending well-crafted paintings with live photography.Maleys matte work was used in many 1950s and early 1960s British films, but he was particularly proud of his work in the climactic scene in Stanley Kubricks 1964 Cold War classic Dr. Strangelove, where character actor Slim Pickens rode an atomic bomb to his any everyone elses doom. Recognizing his talents, Walt Disney brought Maley to California in 1964, where he was made a supervising matte painter and visual effects artist.In the 1960s, he worked on many classic Disney live action films. In 1971, along with Danny Lee and Eustace Lycett, he earned the Academy Award for Visual Effects for the inventive Disney feature Bedknobs and Broomsticks.After his Disney years, Maley went on to work for another Hollywood legend, John Huston, on such films as Moulin Rouge and Beat the Devil. He also worked with his cousin Peter Lemont on the 1977 James Bond spy film, The Spy Who Loved Me, starring Roger Moore. In 1981 Maley worked for George Lucas on the original Indiana Jones release, Raiders of the Lost Ark.He moved to the Bay Area to become one of the foundational artists for Lucasfilms Industrial Light and Magic, the pioneering special effects laboratory that revolutionized filmmaking. In his spare time, Maley worked at his easel in his studio at home, creating hundreds of paintings of Victorian and Edwardian England, Belle Epoque Paris and Gilded Age America.He was drawn to the elegance of the late 19thand early 20thcentury as a subject, when wealthy men and women dressed in tails and top hats and elegant dresses.Maley loved to paint his subjects as they arrived or left formal affairs, talking as they queued for their Barouche or Cabriolet.His theatrical paintings have a nice sense of light and almost always a recognizable seasonality, bathed in summer light or dusted with winter snow. Late in a life that was ended too soon by a heart attack, Maley founded Past Impressions, his own publishing company, which printed limited edition reproductions of the oil paintings he sold through California galleries.In the 1980s and 1990s, Past Impressions published dozens of sets of paper and canvas reproductions of his elegant scenes, which remain popular on the resale market. Maley was married to his wife, Pamela Maley and the couple has two children, Andrew and Caroline.Jeffrey Morseburg
