Featuring rarely seen multimedia works by the revered cult filmmaker David Lynch, this
revelatory book shows how he applies his powerful imagination and visual language across
genres.
David Lynch has always been in the spotlight as a filmmaker, directing some of the most iconic
movies ever made, but as a visual artist, he is less widely known. Lynch delights in the physicality
of painting and likes to stimulate all the senses in his work. This book, now available in a
paperback edition, brings together Lynch’s paintings, photography, drawings, sculpture and
installation, and stills from his films. Many of these works reveal the dark underpinnings behind
Lynch’s often-macabre movies. Others explore his fascination with texture and collage.
Throughout, Lynch’s characteristic style – surreal, stylish, and even humorous – shines through.
An introduction by music journalist and Lynch biographer Kristine McKenna, along with a
thought-provoking essay by curator Stijn Huijts, offers fascinating new information and
perspectives on Lynch’s life and career. This book reveals an unexplored facet of Lynch’s oeuvre
and affirms that he is as brilliant a visual artist as he is a filmmaker.
