Description
Derek Jarman's Blue is a powerful and poignant work of art that serves as both a political call to action and a deeply personal meditation. Originally released as a feature film in 1993, the year before the artist's death due to an AIDS-related illness, Blue is a daring and impassioned response to the lack of engagement with the AIDS crisis. The book weaves together a sensory tapestry that explores themes of illness, dying, love, and the human experience. Through lyrical prose and vivid imagery, Jarman contemplates the physicality of emotions and grounds his story in the constant return to Blue - a color, a feeling, a state of mind. Michael Charlesworth's introduction brings new insights into this complex work. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of Jarman's art and legacy, offering a unique perspective on his visual paintings and the themes that drove his creative output.
