David
Lynch's artistic roots became deeply ingrained when he joined the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia in 1965. Inspired by much of the
Bauhaus Movement which had propelled the concept of art to greater depths
with its industrial and surreal tendencies, he was influenced by contemporary
painters including Jackson Pollock, Edward Hopper, and Francis Bacon.
Lynch began focusing on photography during the release of his 1976 feature
film, Eraserhead. Although he had worked with paintings at the
Academy, it was during the late Eighties and early Nineties that Lynch's
rich and concrete paintings surfaced. Some of these are shown below,
in order of sequence. Click on the thumbnails for larger, higher quality
