A must-have for Lynch fans, May 17 2007
By Garmonbozia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: David Lynch (Hardcover)
This book is beautiful, a large coffee table size book of color reproductions of Lynch's work. It includes an audio interview on two CDs. I just got the book today, so I have only skimmed it so far. It's similar to "Images" which has been out of print for years, and goes at auction for $100 to $300 when you can find it. I can't believe the low price on this wonderful book.

great book, must have, Sep 14 2007

This review is from: David Lynch (Hardcover)
I always buy these great art books and never actually read them because they are so damn heavy and imposing. This one, though it is big and heavy (as art books should be) comes with two cds that have a recording of David Lynch being interviewed about almost every piece in the book. It's great to put the cd in and follow along in the book. The interview is interesting and intimate and I found the book and whole experience to be a deep well of creative inspiration I can keep on my bookshelf until I'm stuck again. Highly recommended.

The most comprehensive publication of Lynch's art available, Jan 5 2008
By J. Boles - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: David Lynch (Hardcover)
This is the book which got me into Lynch's art, and subsequently aided in opening the door to my own attempts at painting. It is also the most comprehensive collection of his prolific output, ranging from bizarre, colorful ink abstractions on loose paper to production design sketches for the baby in "Eraserhead." Along the way, you also get film stills from the avant-garde director's movies; an amazing interview (text as well as spread out over two accompanying audio CD's)with Lynch; a collection of his photography (ranging from industrial landscapes to nudes) and Photoshop distortion of nudes taken by Uwe Shield; and finally, numerous oil-on-canvas paintings. The paintings are the real highlight of the book, their dark backgrounds highlighting the nightmarish experiences of Lynch's bizarre stick-man characters. Very enjoyable though thoroughly creepy and unsettling, Lynch's art is like no other. By far the best available retrospective of his art, this book is highly recommended, as is the now out-of-print "Images."
