Tim Burton - MoMA New York |
Vanaf 22 november t/m 26 april is de eerste mega overzichtstentoonstelling te zien met de werken van Tim Burton (de man van oa. Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorh... dit weten jullie al) in het MoMA te New York. Hier alvast het (teleurstellende) promospotje.
This major career retrospective on Tim Burton (American, b. 1958),
consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers
Burton's career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for
live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction
writer, photographer and illustrator. Following the current of his
visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature
work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception
and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized
projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his
earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a
storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing
themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment,
cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings,
paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and
maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking
inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented
Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a
generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics.
Burton's films include Vincent (1982), Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Batman Returns (1992), The Nightmare Before Christmas (as creator and producer) (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Mars Attacks! (1996), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Big Fish (2003), Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Sweeney Todd (2007); writing and Web projects include The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories (1997) and Stainboy (2000).
