I'm trying to convince a friend of mine here that Twin Peaks is a wonderful
television program, but I have been rather unsuccessful at this task.

I consider TP to be a real work of art, as far as TV goes, so I was trying to
compare the show to a know painter.

The name that immediately came to my mind is Salvador Dali. 

In fact, I'd say Salvador Dali was to painting what David Lynch is to tv/movie
making. I find there is a close parallel between their respective kind of
surrealism and one can interpret Lynch's work, like Dali's, at many different
levels.

Oh well. That's my opinion.
