Spike Lee is a world-renowned, Academy Award–winning filmmaker, a
cultural icon, and one of the most prominent voices on race and racism
for more than three decades. His prolific career has included over 35
films, including his directorial debut She's Gotta Have It (1986), his
seminal masterpiece Do the Right Thing (1989), and more recently, his
Oscar-winning film BlacKkKlansman (2018). Spike Lee's provocative
feature films, documentaries, commercials, and music videos, have shone
the spotlight on significant stories and have made an indelible mark in
both cinematic history and in contemporary society. This career-spanning
monograph titled SPIKE is a visual celebration of his life and career to
date. The custom bold, typographic design is inspired by the LOVE/HATE
brass rings that Radio Raheem wore in Do the Right Thing and that Spike
Lee wore at the 2019 Academy Awards. The gold foil deboss on SPIKE
on the vibrant fuchsia front cover is a bold and beautiful, eye-catching
design. Featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photographs by David
Lee, Spike's brother and long-time still photographer, SPIKE the book,
includes behind-the-scenes, insider images that underscore his creative
process and his significant impact on the culture at large. From his
critically acclaimed film Malcolm X (1992) starring Denzel Washington, to
his recent film Da 5 Bloods (2020) featuring the late Chadwick Boseman,
Spike Lee's work continues to resonate now more than ever. Also
included here are his beloved commercials with Michael Jordan for Nike,
which helped launch the billion-dollar Jordan brand product empire, as
well as his music videos with Prince and Michael Jackson. This is a must-
have collector's item and ideal gift for any cinephile.
