# Spike Lee: Director's Inspiration - Hardcover

by **Spike Lee** (Artist), **Dara Jaffe** (Editor), **Stacey Allan** (Editor)

**An inspirational trove of film posters and ephemera, photographs, artwork and more from the collection of Spike Lee**

For nearly four decades, Spike Lee has made movies that demand our attention. His extensive filmography reflects an unflinching critique of race relations in the United States, from the Student Academy Award(R)-winning short _Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads_ and the ever-relevant _Do the Right Thing_ to the more recent Oscar(R)-winning _BlacKkKlansman_ and _Da 5 Bloods_. A lifelong cinephile and film scholar, Lee draws inspiration from other artists working across a range of eras, genres and global cinemas. He has also devoted much of his career to teaching the next generation of filmmakers.  
_Spike Lee: Director's Inspiration_ presents Lee's personal collection of original film posters and objects, photographs, artworks and more--many of these inscribed to Lee personally by filmmakers, stars, athletes, activists, musicians and others who have inspired his work in specific ways.  
Straight from the walls of Lee's 40 Acres and a Mule production studio in Brooklyn, his faculty office at NYU and his Martha's Vineyard home, these objects offer a glimpse into what shapes Lee's signature filmmaking approach. _Spike Lee: Director's Inspiration_ also includes a conversation between Lee and Shaka King (_Judas and the Black Messiah_) and brief texts by some of the many artists Lee himself has inspired.  
**Spike Lee** (born 1957) is a director, writer, actor, producer, author and artistic director of the graduate film program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he has taught since 1993.
