LVMH has a sprawling portfolio of brands synonymous with luxury: Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Bulgari, Celine, Tiffany & Co., Hennessy and Veuve Clicquot. Its CEO, Bernard Arnault, almost never speaks to journalists and doesn’t have the name recognition of the likes of Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, but regularly vies with them for the title of richest person in the world and has an almost impossible-to-measure influence over the business world.
In the wake of David Lynch’s passing at the age of seventy-eight, Artforum revisits their 2019 video interview with the avant-garde filmmaker. In it, Lynch talks about his first love—painting—and his subsequent lifelong devotion to artmaking, from his student years at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts to his move to Los Angeles to pursue cinema, or “moving paintings.”

Georges Méliès's 1902 'Le voyage dans la lune' we now recognize as the very first sci-fi movie.
It would hardly seem worth noting that a film from 1902 is silent and in black-and-white, but what few know is that colorized prints — laboriously hand-painted, frame by frame, on an assembly line — existed even at the time of its original release, like this one such restored version.
