Tim Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking, melding the exotic, the horrific, and the comic and manipulating expressionism and fantasy with the skill of a graphic novelist.

 

Published to accompany a major career retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, this book considers Burton's career as an artist and filmmaker. It narrates the evolution of his creative practices, following the current of his visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawings through his mature oeuvre. Illustrated with works on paper, moving-image stills, drawn and painted concept art, puppets and maquettes, storyboards, and examples of his work as a graphic artist.
