Anxiety and the Red Curtain. Prestige and the Non-Cinematic Works of David Lynch

Summary/Abstract: Inspired by David Lynch’s works of visual art, this paper is an attempt to identifysome extra-artistic mechanisms (the art market) relating to artworks. As a result,his non-cinematic works have been analysed here in the context of the mechanismsoperating in culture, as indicated by Mieke Bal (“cultural imperialism”) and JamesF. English (“economy of prestige”). The artistic works of the American film directorhave been located on the main axes identified in this context. In addition to theexpressionist-surrealist origin and commonly acknowledged connotations with theworks of Edvard Munch, Oskar Kokoschka and Francis Bacon, the author alsoshows ideological threads combining Lynch’s works with Tadeusz Kantor’s legacy.
