I’m one of those kids who grew up idolizing “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. I fell in love with Tim Burton’s weird and sometimes disturbing artistic style. Now at MOMA there’s an exhibit featuring the work of Tim Burton. According to this art review, the exhibit itself isn’t very impressive. The writer actually refers to it as “a letdown”. Nonetheless, I think its pretty exciting to see popular television and film styles at an established and well-respected museum. Known for his wide-range of films from “Edward Scissorhands” to the first 3-D stop motion movie, “Coraline” Burton is known for his glorification of the child outcast who is always a little too weird and a little too sad to be considered mainstream. As his work enters this mainstream I hope he continues creating a style that is both heartbreaking and offbeat.
Here’s an image from the exhibit.
