Allister Mactaggart is a senior lecturer at the Directorate of Art and Design, Chesterfield College and an associate lecturer of Leeds Metropolitan University. He teaches film studies and art history, specializing in David Lynch, psychoanalysis, and visual culture.
"Allister Mactaggart's singular achievement is to freely bring the affect and the emotion of viewing Lynch's films to the questions of how they can be studied. The Film Paintings of David Lynch crosses the boundaries of how we experience different forms of art, breaks down generic criticism and methodological conventions, and in doing this it presents us with fresh ways of thinking psychoanalysis and aesthetics in cultural writing. Rather than offering Lynch newly cut and dried, it enables us in our turn to value our seeing and our feeling of this remarkable body of work."--Adrian Rifkin, University of London
