ORIGINAL HARPER GOFF PUBLISHED ARTWORK FOR THE CHOCOLATE ROOM IN WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. ORIGINAL HARPER GOFF PUBLISHED ARTWORK FOR THE CHOCOLATE ROOM IN WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. - (Paramount, 1971) This stunning artwork, measuring approx. 33 in. x 24 in. is executed in acrylic and colored pencil by legendary Art Director Harper Goff , whose other memorable films include Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Vikings and Fantastic Voyage. Titled "Chocolate Waterfall - showing maximum use of optical on oompa-looma's [sic]." The work depicts a panoramic view of Wonka's Chocolate Room with the center point being the chocolate river where the chocolate is mixed and churned by the waterfall. Pipes that hang from the ceiling come down and suck up the chocolate then send it to other rooms of the factory. Plainly in view are the miniscule Oompa-Loompas adding ingredients to the chocolate and piloting the tour boat approaching from the tunnel to meet Willy Wonka, Grandpa Joe and Charlie. Surrounding them are the colorful (and edible!) trees, flowers, mushrooms and bushes. Signed at the lower right, "Harper Goff '69." Not only was this art used to create the lavish set from the film, it was also published in ad materials during the movie's release. Tipped to a larger illustration board measuring approx. 37 in. x 28 in. A fantastic example of production art embodying the magical tone of this great film.
