If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there are 4 of us blogging on a regular basis. Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we'll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.
The first Tim Burton¬†movie I saw was “The Nightmare before Christmas” 1993, I was 8 years old that time, and as the title says, it got me nightmares. And not only once, I think I dreamed about Jack Skellington for years. Today, Tim Burton is back from never be gone. At the MoMA there is a complete retrospective of his work. Above you see the animation Burton has made for this exhibition, if you read on you will find a interview with the artist. And Some more information about the exhibition, which is starting today.
MoMA:
“Taking inspiration from popular culture, Tim Burton (American, b. 1958) has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as an expression of personal vision, garnering for himself an international audience of fans and influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics. This exhibition explores the full range of his creative work, tracing the current of his visual imagination from early childhood drawings through his mature work in film. It brings together over seven hundred examples of rarely or never-before-seen drawings, paintings, photographs, moving image works, concept art, storyboards, puppets, maquettes, costumes, and cinematic ephemera from such films as Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, Mars Attacks!, Ed Wood, and Beetlejuice, and from unrealized and little-known personal projects that reveal his talent as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and writer working in the spirit of Pop Surrealism. The gallery exhibition is accompanied by a complete retrospective of Burton‚Äôs theatrical features and shorts, as well as a lavishly illustrated publication.”
If you can’t get to the MoMA in time for this exhibition, there is always Tim Burtons website, it is a beautiful made portfolio where you can walk around in a virtual gallery. Definitely worth a visit.
More information about the exhibition can be found at MoMA’s website.
