Published to accompany the Italian National Cinema Museum's major exhibition of the director's work, this book presents a rich visual record of Burton's career and singular visual style
This volume accompanies the major exhibition at Italy's National Cinema Museum dedicated to the work of director Tim Burton.
The book takes us on a journey into the visionary universe of the Californian filmmaker through original works of art, photographs, film ephemera - storyboards, costumes, sketches, maquettes - and precious documents, many of which come from his personal archive.
We retrace Burton's 30-year career from his beginnings, with Beetlejuice and Batman, up to the recent success of Wednesday, highlighting the evolution of his singular style, which draws on an array pop-cultural reference points such as fairy tales, comics, television films, classic illustrators such as Edward Gorey, Charles Addams, Don Martin and Theodore Geisel, expressionist cinema, and the horror catalogue of Universal Studios.
