Tim Burton Exhibition – monsters are his muses – Süddeutsche.de

“Blue Girl with Wine”

As a teenager Tim Burton was a fan of horror movies. The Dark of the genre, he reached up and was inspired to bizarre, tragicomic characters. Many of his films deal with wayward misfits, such recordable “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride”: In it makes a magical girl whose body has already reached an advanced state of decay, on the search for a loved one. Like shape is the Blue Lady on Burton’s oil painting “Blue Girl with Wine” (1997). Your scars remind another creature of horror world: Frankenstein’s monster. The first film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein novel comes from director James Whale (1931). Whales film made the monster in many ways to Tim Burton’s muse. An eerily similar trashy rebirth experienced by a little dog with pointy ears in Burton’s animated film “Frankenweenie” (2012).
