IN WONDERLAND

“Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird” by Frida Kahlo

"Birthday" by Dorothea Tanning

"Self-Portrait" by Rosa Rolanda

Beautiful dreamers were gathered at LACMA. I was very lucky to see them!

The 175 works in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s exhibition “In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States” presented the work of 47 female surrealists—some marginalized, some muses, and all extraordinary. Frida Kahlo portrays herself in miniature alongside her “greater” husband, Diego Rivera. Yayoi Kusama stages her own gender-bending rabbit hole in Central Park, infiltrating José de Creeft’s bronze Alice in Wonderland. Curators Ilene Susan Fort and Tere Arcq, of LACMA and Mexico City’s Museo de Arte Moderno, respectively, hope to provide a foil to surrealism’s long-standing gender bias—as well as explore how these artists found their greatest inspiration away from the movement’s center, in Paris. “North America wasn’t as bound to social mores and gender roles,” says Fort. “There was just greater freedom.”

I sometimes, mostly back in 2008, feel like in one of his movies :P I might even include one of his characters to my inspiration board ;)

Some of my favorites from his collection:

Bazen, özellikle 2008'de, Tim Burton'ın filmlerinde gibi hissediyorum kendimi :P Hatta karakterlerinden birini ilhamlarım bölümüme eklemeliyim ;)

Koleksiyondan birkaç seçme:

Oh Vincent we love you!
***
Vincent biz seni çoook seviyoruz!

 
Vincent Malloy is seven years old
He’s always polite and does what he’s told
For a boy his age, he’s considerate and nice
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price

He doesn’t mind living with his sister, dog and cats
Though he’d rather share a home with spiders and bats
There he could reflect on the horrors he’s invented
And wander dark hallways, alone and tormented

Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him
But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum

He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie
In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie
So he and his horrible zombie dog
Could go searching for victims in the London fog
...

Find the rest of the poem here.

Tim Burton finds exact right actors matching his utterly insane characters.

Kelimenin tam anlamıyla çılgın karakterlerine en uygun aktörü bulmakta da çok başarılı.

And finally as Halloween approaches, he reimagines season's dark delights in fashion photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar September 2009 issue.
