If you haven't gotten down to the MoMA for Tim Burton's exhibit: GO!
You will not regret this show.
Burton's exhibit is fantastic.
I was sweating and surrounded by too many people.
But the content was incredible.
To see him evolve from his student art in the 50's to working on huge projects like:
The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Batman, & Edward Scissorhands.
Something interesting was the scale of the figurines used for The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Then to think of the pure genius behind how many figures and camera takes were used for one scene, it blew my mind.
The sketches on display for the costumes that The Joker, Catwoman and The Penguin from the first Batman movie are dead on. & to boot Catwoman's costume is on display.
Holy tiny waste Michelle Pfeiffer!
Edward Scissorhands costume is on display as well and it makes you think: how tall is Johnny Depp?! When I just googled Johnny Depp's height he is apparently 5'10'' but the stature in the costume was small.
It's a feel good exhibit, but with some dark context. When looking at some doodles of dino's from Burton's youth, I felt: "He is so simple, yet so effective." He makes these little cartoon characters vomit, fart, and they are hilarious.
I highly recommend Burton's exhibit at the MOMA.
See it: it's hot!
