A$53.30
This catalogue accompanies a major exhibition at Museo del Cinema, honouring Tim Burton's unique vision and artistic output. Richly illustrated, it is an autobiography told through the charting of creative process. The book features a host of rarely or never-before-seen archival material (everything from childhood sketches, to paintings and drawings, to costumes and puppets), as well as tracing the influence of artists and filmmakers who Burton has long admired. From Beetlejuice to Batman, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Alice in Wonderland and beyond, Tim Burton has made an indelible mark on cinema across horror, drama and fantasy films with his uncanny, whimsical style. Since his youth, he has created a thematic repository of popular culture, comics, fairy tales, Old Hollywood films and more, the elements of which he intersperses into his movies. Divided into nine thematic sections, the catalogue features over 200 examples of rarely or never-before-seen original artworks spanning Burton's entire lifetime: including early sketches from his childhood, paintings, drawings, photographs, concept art, storyboards, costumes, moving-image works, maquettes, puppets and life-size sculptural installations. This archival material honors Burton's signature style but also reveals his appreciation of the work of previous generations, including the drawings of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams, the horror films of Vincent Price and Japanese monster movies. The World of Tim Burton creates an autobiography told through his creative process, tracing the singular visual imagination of a multidimensional postmodern artist.Tim Burton (born 1958) grew up in Burbank, California and studied animation at the California Institute of the Arts. Fired from Disney after making Frankenweenie, Burton was approached by Paul Reubens to direct Pee-wee's Big Adventure, which became his first major hit. Since then he has directed dozens of blockbuster movies and has become recognisable for his signature style. Recently he directed and produced the TV series Wednesday, the second-most watched show on Netflix.
