I’ve been watching The Art Life, a documentary about David Lynch and “The Art Life”. It’s such a different picture of David Lynch than I’ve previously had, so much so that I was wondering if there are two David Lynch artists, the Director and the Artist. By that I mean literally separate human beings. But it’s one & the same. That aside it’s provoked some interesting thoughts. So food for thought.
Some of his inspirational “mottos”:
- Coffee, food & art (work).
- Compartmentalising life and those others in it.
- Keep making “bad art” until you find your good art.
- We’re deeply and constantly influenced by others all our lives. Keep making until you find your own art.
I’m so glad he’s refused to be part of the “hollywood establishment” because it’s inspirational to know that people can make it in their own way.
