Viac o knihe

This book showcases the multifaceted artist David Lynch through a diverse selection of his paintings, photographs, drawings, experimental films, and acoustic works. It represents the first major collection of artwork by the renowned movie director, whose influential films and television series span forty years, including titles like *Eraserhead*, *The Elephant Man*, *Blue Velvet*, *Twin Peaks*, *Lost Highway*, and *Mulholland Drive*. Lynch's extensive visual art production, which predates his film career, has seldom been displayed. In March 2007, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain hosted *The Air is on Fire*, marking the first exhibition to present such a wide array of his artistic output. This collection not only reflects the themes and aesthetics of his films but also provides a more intimate view of his unique universe. The book includes several essays analyzing his works and features a conversation with Lynch, offering insights into his artistic journey. It serves as a comprehensive reference covering his various fields of creation, revealing the lesser-known yet prolific nature of his artistry. Accompanied by a CD interview, the book allows Lynch to share his thoughts, adding depth to the exploration of his visual creations.
