Ray Harryhausen: Titan of Cinema

National Galleries Scotland: Modern Two exhibition

26th April 21 - 20th February 22

PAST EXHIBITION: This was part of the EAF21 programme.

Film special effects superstar Ray Harryhausen elevated stop motion animation to an art. His innovative and inspiring filming, from the 1950s onwards, changed the face of modern movie making forever. Over the course of his career, Harryhausen brought model characters to life, mixing them with live action in a series of genre defining feature films including Clash of the Titans (1981), Jason and the Argonauts (1963) and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1958).

Titan of Cinema was the largest and widest-ranging exhibition of Ray Harryhausen’s work ever seen, showcasing with restored and previously unseen material from his incredible archive.

The exhibition was presented in collaboration with The Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation.
