The exhibit at the MOMA is now all about Tim Burton - and it will continue until April 26, 2010. I went to see it on Friday, and it was pretty spectacular. They had everything from notebooks from childhood to costumes and drawings from his most current films. I never quite realized just how big of an influence he has been on films from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Batman Beyond. He has such a distinctive style and a very interesting sense of humor.
One of the best parts of the exhibit, in my opinion, simply because I am a Johnny Depp fan, was the evidence to their creative relationship. One letter, addressed to Johnny, asked about the possibility of when entering the factory and greeting the children, he could say something like everything in this room is eatable - even I'm eatable! But that is called 'cannibalism' and that's frowned upon in most societies. This part in the creative process struck me and I was so happy to get a glimpse into this relationship.
Anyway, I highly recommend the exhibit - go and see it while you can!
