Tim Burton's Vincent

Inside Tim Burton's Wonderland

This week it was announced that the brilliant Tim Burton exhibition showing at MOMA in New York will be travelling to Australia next year!!! Hurrah!! It will be on in Melbourne at ACMI!
We will be travelling down as we had seriously considered going to New York to see it! If only funds would allow it!

See the article from The Age HERE.

It states that the exhibition 'will bring together more than 700 examples of rare drawings, paintings, photographs and puppets and costumes. Among the exhibits will be early childhood drawings and student films by Burton as well as work from the yet to be released Alice in Wonderland.'

So in honour of this announcement I have chosen famed bizarre noir director Tim Burton as today's inspiration an example of the 'Modern Noir'.
