Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters
August 1, 2016–November 27, 2016
LACMA
5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036
Taking inspiration from del Toro’s extraordinary
imagination, the exhibition reveals his creative process through his
collection of paintings, drawings, maquettes, artifacts, and concept
film art. Rather than a traditional chronology or filmography, the
exhibition is organized thematically, beginning with visions of death
and the afterlife; continuing through explorations of magic, occultism,
horror, and monsters; and concluding with representations of innocence
and redemption.
