# Spike - Hardcover

by **Spike Lee** (Author)

**A career-spanning monograph, _SPIKE_ is a visual celebration of acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee's life and work to date.**

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 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.

  
Featuring hundreds of never-before-seen photographs by David Lee, Spike's brother and long-time still photographer, this comprehensive monograph includes behind-the-scenes, insider images that underscore his creative process and his significant impact on the culture at large. 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. From earlier films like the critically acclaimed _Malcolm X_ (1992) starring Denzel Washington, to more recent films such as _Da 5 Bloods_ (2020) featuring the late Chadwick Boseman, Spike Lee's work continues to resonate now more than ever.

STRIKING DESIGN: Featuring gold foil deboss on a vibrant fuchsia front cover, _SPIKE_ boasts a bold and beautiful, eye-catching design. The custom blocky, typographic design is inspired by the LOVE/HATE brass rings that Radio Raheem wore in _Do the Right Thing_ and that Spike wore at the 2019 Academy Awards.

GIFT FOR CINEMA LOVERS: This is a must-have collector's item and ideal gift for any cinephile and fan of one of the most prominent and influential filmmakers in history.

"Technically, _SPIKE_ is a film-by-film study of the director's career. But it's hardly stuffy. It's a visual joy with choice comments from the man himself."--_The New York Times_
