I had to think about this blog post a bit before I could connect the artists. from the McQueen show, I think his MA Thesis coat, Jack the Ripper Stalks his Victims (http://blog.metmuseum.org/alexandermcqueen/coat-jack-the-ripper/) reminded me strongly of Burton’s point of view. particularly the silk lining with human hair enclosed. the lines of hair look like scraggely veins from Burton’s sketches.
in the Burton show, I thought more immediately of Edward Gorey’s illustrations. I feel all three may have been inspired by similar time periods and cultures.
I definitely agree that there was an element of extreme expressiveness to McQueen’s work that moved beyond the physical attributes of his materials.
the Burton show was amazing in the breadth of his prolific output and the connection between the forms of media that he worked with.

*I think* It’s been a while since I’ve seen either film.
