Babbitt was one of the highest paid Disney animators at the time of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, earning two hundred dollars a week, but he subsequently became a leader of the 1941 strike at the Disney studio.
Babbitt's comments about his 1942 suit against Disney, for bonuses he claimed he was due for work on Pinocchio and other cartoons, must be taken with a large grain of salt.
Babbitt lost that suit, and the language of Judge John Gee Clark's opinion does not suggest that he was secretly sympathetic to Babbitt.

 skill, about, might, “art”, creative, context, ability, style, particular, forms, value, objects, poetry - Art
The purpose of works of art may be to communicate ideas, such as in politically-, spiritually-, or philosophically-motivated art, to create a sense of beauty (see “aesthetics”), to explore the nature of perception, for pleasure, or to generate strong emotions.
The creative arts (“art”’ as discipline) are a collection of disciplines (“arts”) which produce artworks (“art” as objects) that is compelled by a personal drive (“art” as activity) and echoes or reflects a message, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret (“art” as experience).
Art predates history; we have found sculptures, cave paintings, rock paintings and petroglyphs from the upper paleolithic starting roughly 40,000 years ago, but the precise meaning of such art is often disputed because we know so little with firmness about the cultures that produced them.

Dina Babbitt, retired animator and ex-wife of legendary Disney animator Art Babbitt, is seeking the return of paintings she created under duress while an inmate at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II.
Babbitt’s artistic talent was spotted at Auschwitz by notorious Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who forced her to paint portraits of condemned Gypsies in support of his crackpot theories about physical attributes and racial superiority.
Originally from Czechoslovakia, Babbitt (born Dinah Gottliebova) and her mother survived their internment, but first had to endure a forced march from the camp ordered by the Nazis in 1945 when Russian soldiers were closing in.

 j. - Santa Cruz woman trying to recover Auschwitz art
The claim by Gottliebova Babbitt appears unique amid the current flurry of efforts to recover Nazi-looted art, in part because the ownership issues aren't clear and because the paintings serve what is widely believed to be an appropriate historical purpose.
According to Oleksy, Gottliebova Babbitt told the museum during the visit that she appreciated the museum's efforts to find her and that she was glad some of her works had survived the war.
In the case of the Gottliebova Babbitt paintings, Oleksy contends that the art serves a significant and serious historical purpose because the artist chronicled her surroundings.

 Secretary of the Interior Babbitt Praises D.C. Public School Students for Painting Mural at the Department of the ...

Levy, President and Director of the Cororan, will join four D.C. public school students from the Corcoran College of Art and Design's Visual Arts Community Outreach Program to publicly 'unveil' a mural by the student artists celebrating the conservation of the Anacostia River.
The students also have graphically demonstrated the potential supportive relationship between art and environmental protection." The return of the eagle, birds and fish, and people fishing, canoeing, and planting along the riverbank are vividly portrayed in large wall panels.
All four students participated in art classes as part of the CANVAS (Corcoran Art: New Visions at School) program, taught by Corcoran faculty at Fletcher-Johnson Middle School in Anacostia, one of the Corcoran's partner community sites.
