Catching the Big Fish
David Lynch, a three-time Oscar nominee, is one of our generation's most important directors. Lynch's popular and critically acclaimed film projects, which include Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, INLAND EMPIRE, and Twin Peaks, are widely regarded as having broken down the barrier between art-house cinema and Hollywood moviemaking from the early 1970s to the present day.
When you love an artist's work, you frequently wonder, "How do they even come up with these ideas?" David Lynch takes readers on a fascinating journey through his process of discovering and harnessing creativity. Lynch, a long-time practitioner of transcendental meditation, provides delightful insights into idea generation. This book, which weaves together life, art, and awareness, flips the image of the suffering artist and replaces it with the idea that our mental capacity and ability to achieve inner peace is our most powerful creative driver.
Among the best books on art for artists, Catching the Big Fish, David Lynch's 2006 film, was praised for being "as close as Lynch will ever come to an interior shot of his famously odd head" (Rocky Mountain News) Lynch delves deeper into the creative process and the advantages of Transcendental Meditation in this 10th anniversary edition, which includes exclusive Q&A conversations with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
The musicians open up to Lynch about their art, history, and the artistic and personal rewards they have reaped from their decades-long practice of Transcendental Meditation, a technique they and his fellow Beatles helped popularize in the 1960s.
Catching the Big Fish is a revelation for everyone who wishes to comprehend Lynch's personal perspective. It is also appealing to everyone who is curious about how to foster their own creativity.
