There's news that Tim Burton's coming up with an art book called The Art of Tim Burton. It's going to have 434 pages and should be released soon or early next month. This is not that book.
This book simply titled Tim Burton is an exhibition promotion book. It's published by The Museum of Modern Art to accompany the Tim Burton exhibition that's running on 22 Nov 2009 to 26 April 2010. The exhibition is going to have over 500 pieces of art created by Tim Burton him...more
Great exhibition review presentation. I didn't get to this show at the MOMA but my brother did and brought this book home. It is great to see pop culture influenced so much by art, and vice versa. I am unsure I first thought of Burton as an artist, but the more of this I read the more I realized that directing is just one of the gigs, one of the hats that Burton wears. This book really lets readers understand how his brain works. One of the most interesting aspects I saw was how he includes unre...more
Tim Burton é, muito provavelmente, o meu cineasta favorito e não me sendo possível ver a exposição no MoMA, fiz a seguinte melhor coisa, comprei o livro da exposição. E que delícia este livro é, com desenhos dos locais mais profundos da mente "estranha" de Burton, alguns dos quais inéditos ou que vêem a luz pela primeira vez, são uma delícia para os fãs que o seguem.
Recomendo a qualquer verdadeiro fã ou aspirante :).

It's really pleasure to see his sketches from the early age to by now. He has constantly doodled some whimsical characters and had his unique style consistently from the early age. Wonderful!
tim burton is a genius :)
Un regalito para los fans, un par de valiosas imagenes de la colección privada del gran Burton, y otros datos interesantes sobre su biografía y trabajos.
I enjoyed the artwork, I only wish there was more of it and it was presented in a alrger format.
I want you book! I want you bad!
amazing characters
It was okay. I learned from it but I should have bought the bigger catalogue.
No where near as good and extensive as the The Art of Tim Burton. It's more like a teaser trailer to the big feature presentation.
Good, but not good enough.
It does whet one's appetite for Tim Burton's works, particularly and especially those from the Tim Burton exhibition.

Tim Burton has always been a big inspiration for me. It was fascinating seeing all of his "doodles" from over the years - even from his childhood! It has actually inspired me. I hope to learn to draw my own characters and ideas.
Excelente!!
