The mega book, nearly 400 pages long, is Lynch's biggest visual feast. The name David Lynch initially prompts one to think of Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks,or Mulholland Drive, yet the brilliant director actually studied art and, parallel to his film career, he continued to work as a visual artist. For Lynch, his photographs, short films, paintings, prints, drawings, and-most recently-musical compositions are both an indispensable part of his oeuvre as well as a source of inspiration for his films. These works also deal with the themes that are typical for Lynch, the director-most notably, the abyss behind the idyllic fa?ade of life in the suburbs. Cryptic written messages, the inclusion of organic materials and objects, and the artist's liberating sense of humour are hallmarks of his paintings, executed in dark colours. His photographs often feature sensitively perceived industrial wastelands. This monograph presents Lynch's most important projects, making it a kind of anthology of his best work..
