Tim Burton, director and artist, is widely regarded as one of
cinema's most imaginative and visual filmmakers. Both his
live-action and animated films have earned Academy Awards, Golden
Globes, BAFTAs and many other industry accolades, cementing his
status as one of the greatest film makers of our time.
He has a dedicated following, notably for classic features such as
Beetlejuice (1988); Edward Scissorhands (1990); and Sweeny Todd,
the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) as well as blockbuster hits
Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992); Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory (2005); and Alice in Wonderland (2010). He helped to
reinvigorate the stop-motion industry with his 1993 creation and
cult classic Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas; followed
by Corpse Bride (2005) and Frankenweenie (2012). Tim most recently
produced and directed four episodes of the hit Netflix series,
Wednesday (2022).
Long before becoming a director, Burton expressed himself through
drawing, painting, poetry and photography, all of which have been
documented in books The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other
Stories, The Napkin Art of Tim Burton and the 2009 release, The Art
of Tim Burton, a 430-page volume comprising more than 40 years of
his personal and professional artwork. Coinciding with the release
of The Art of Tim Burton, the Museum of Modern Art opened an
extensive exhibition of his work in New York, which went on to tour
in Melbourne, Toronto, Los Angeles, Paris, and Seoul. A second
exhibition of his artwork, The World of Tim Burton, continues to
tour internationally.
