Big Eyes' the latest in Tim Burton's gallery of pop-art portraits

In the early 1990s, long before Tim Burton ever planned to make a movie about Margaret Keane, he traveled to Northern California to commission a portrait from the artist whose paintings of children with oversize, mournful eyes were a nearly inescapable backdrop to 1960s pop culture.
'Big Eyes,' like Tim Burton's other films, reflects the outsider memories of his suburban upbringing. This time, it's the 'weird world' of artist Margaret Keane.
