The Museum of Modern Art has blown the lid off Tim Burton’s best-kept secret: he isn’t just an imaginative filmmaker; he’s also an amazingly talented artist. Burton’s retrospective, which is spread throughout the museum, focuses on the director’s 14 feature films, while also offering drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, props, and short films that have never previously been exhibited. Spanning a lifetime of creativity — from his teenage drawings and college films to character sketches from his upcoming Alice in Wonderlandmovie — Burton’s Gothic vision is as captivating as it is astounding.

Hundreds of magical works are exhibited salon-style in MoMA’s third-floor special-exhibitions gallery, which is entered by way of a three-dimensional monster’s mouth. The creature’s red-carpet tongue takes visitors down a black-and-white striped hallway, which displays flat-screen monitors playing Burton’s six-episode Internet series The World of Stainboy. Passing through this metaphorical orifice, you come out in a darkened gallery, filled with Day-Glo paintings of freaky characters on velvet and a rotating carrousel sculpture illuminated by black lights. Beyond this trippy room, nearly 40 years of Burton’s surreal style of thinking unfolds.

I am a loyal fan of Tim Burton's work.His Art is mysterious,dark, unpredictable and for me amazingly beautiful.In many movies like:Sleepy Hollow(1999),Edward Scissorhands(1990) ,The Nightmare Before Christmas(1993), Beettlejuice(1988) etc... We can see the Gothic influence that has captured many around the world.
