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 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.
