A cinematic artist
Artist, illustrator, photographer, writer and director Tim Burton appears at New York's Museum of Modern Art on November 17 to help launch his career retrospective featuring drawings, paintings, puppets and films.
A jaw-dropping entrance
The show of Burton's works, which runs at MoMA until April 26, shows artwork generated during the conception and production of the director's films, pieces from unrealized projects, student art, his early non-professional films and work for non-film endeavors.
A close-knit group
Joining Burton at the museum was his girlfriend, actress Helena Bonham Carter, second from left, frequent collaborator Johnny Depp, left, and actor Danny DeVito, right.
A wide-eyed view
These figures, including Stain Boy, center background, and Robot Boy, right, are part of Tim Burton exhibit's at the Museum of Modern Art.
Up in arms
This sculpture, which looks like many of the dark, menacing characters in Burton's films, is one of the more than 700 works of art on display.
Like minds
Tim Burton on set with actor Johnny Depp, who frequently works with Burton, during the filiming of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" in 2007. The movie is about a man unjustly sent to prison by a lecherous judge who vows revenge.
Take that!
Johnny Depp starred as the title character in Burton's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." The director often has taken classic tales and put his own dark spin on them.
Romance on the job
Bonham Carter and Burton discuss a scene on the set of "Sweeney Todd." The British actress has been in several Burton films, starting with "Planet of the Apes." They have been a couple since working on the 2001 film and now have two children together.
Inspiration for exhibit
It was while watching Burton's "Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory" (2005) that MoMA assistant curator
Ron Magliozzi dreamed up the exhibit.
A director and his 'Bride'
Tim Burton on the set of the movie "Corpse Bride," which he co-directed in 2005.
An unlikely match
"Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride," an animated movie is set in a
19th-century European village, tells the story of young Victor,
who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious
Corpse Bride, while his real bride, Victoria, waits bereft in the land of the living.
Not a happy face
This shows an image from "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" storyboard from 1993.
A 'Christmas' affair
This movie still from "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993) shows Sally and Jack. The movie is about Jack Skellington, aka the Pumpkin King, who is bored with his job and feels that life in Halloweenland lacks meaning. He stumbles upon Christmastown and promptly decides to make the Yuletide his own.
An unwelcome guest
Michael Keaton stars in "Beetlejuice," directed by Tim Burton in 1988. The movie is about a dead couple who attempt to scare a modern family out of their house with the help of a "bio-exorcist."
It all started on paper
This 1990 sketch of the character Edward Scissorhands is one of the many artworks on display.
Feeling blue
This sketch comes from Burton's 1997 children's poetry book "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories." Some of the characters in this book would later appear in a Flash series called "The World of Stain Boy."
Going at it
Another sketch from 1982–1984 that would inspire stories for Burton's children's book, "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories."
A strange land
This 1982 sketch would inspire "Frankenweenie," a live-action film Burton released in 1984.
The big staredown
"The World of Stainboy," written and directed by Burton, was released in 2000. He drew this image with pen and ink, watercolor wash and colored pencil.
Let's call this one "Six"
This piece, created with pen and ink, marker, and watercolor wash on paper, was produced in 1982.
Musical influence
The artist-director shows his musical taste in this drawing called "Untitled (Ramone)."
Shades of 'Beetlejuice'
Burton created this pen-and-ink collage, called Untitled (Trick or Treat), in 1980.
