David Lynch has died at the age of 78. After years of smoking, he revealed in August 2024 that he was suffering from emphysema. Lynch is a unique art and cinema force comparable to Kafka or Fellini. He is one of the few Dionysian prophets who expanded the frontiers of knowledge and perception beyond the wildest reaches of imagination and language. These singular artists—visionaries who etch their names into the very language of culture—become adjectives: Kafkaesque, Felliniesque, Lynchian.
