{"product_id":"david-lynch-the-unified-field-9780520283961","title":"David Lynch: The Unified Field","description":"David Lynch is internationally renowned as a filmmaker, but it is less known that he began his creative life as a visual artist and has maintained a devoted studio practice, developing an extensive body of painting, prints, photography, and drawing. Featuring work from all periods of Lynch's career, this book documents Lynch's first major museum exhibition in the United States, bringing together works held in American and European collections and from the artist's studio. Much like his movies, many of Lynch's artworks revolve around suggestions of violence, dark humor, and mystery, conveying an air of the uncanny. This is often conveyed through the addition of text, wildly distorted forms, and disturbances in the paint fields that surround or envelop his figures. While a few relate to his film projects, most are independent works of art that reveal a parallel trajectory. Organized in close collaboration with the artist, \u003ci\u003eDavid Lynch: The Unified Field\u003c\/i\u003e brings together ninety-five paintings, drawings, and prints from 1965 to the present, often unified by the recurring motif of the home as a site of violence, memories, and passion. Other works explore the odd, tender, and mincing aspects of relationships. Highlighting many works that have rarely been seen in public, including early work from his critical years in Philadelphia (1965-70), this catalog offers a substantial response to dealer Leo Castelli's comment when he enthusiastically viewed Lynch's work in 1987, \"I would like to know how he got to this point; he cannot be born out of the head of Zeus.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published in association with the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520283961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 11.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert Cozzolino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638062870684,"sku":"9780520283961","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_46d41bc5-c9da-46ce-af58-a44791cd20a8.jpg?v=1603846368","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/david-lynch-the-unified-field-9780520283961","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
