The world lost one of its premiere film auteurs when David Lynch died last week. It also lost a fascinating visual artist.

David Lynch admitted in the years leading up to his death that his least favorite project was his third feature film, calling it a 'total failure' in his eyes. The director's family announced his death at age 78 on Jan.

David Lynch has died at 78. The filmmaker was celebrated for his uniquely dark vision in such movies as “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and the TV series “Twin Peaks.”
