SynopsisThe evolution of the iconic filmmaker's creative practice, from childhood sketches to his mature oeuvre Tim Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking over the past three decades. With a visual style inspired by the aesthetics of animation and silent comedy, Burton's work melds the exotic, the horrific and the comic, manipulating expressionism and fantasy with the skill of a graphic novelist. Published to accompany a major career retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, this affordable volume considers Burton's career as an artist and filmmaker. It narrates the evolution of his creative practices, following the current of his visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawings through his mature oeuvre. Illustrated with works on paper, moving-image stills, drawn and painted concept art, puppets and maquettes, storyboards and examples of his work as a graphic artist for his non-film projects, this volume sheds new light on Burton and presents previously unseen works from the artist's personal archive.

  • A great look at Burton's work & creativity.

    This is a great "mini" version of Burton's MoMA exhibit... which is great since the "real" catalog of the exhibit costs hundreds of dollars. I'm a big fan of Tim Burton, and this book is a great overview of his work and his creativity.
