Description

Derek Jarman's Chroma: A Book of Colour is a poignant and deeply personal exploration of colour, written during his final year. In this lyrical work, Jarman draws on the writings of great colour theorists from Pliny to Leonardo, weaving together a rich tapestry of thought and memory. As he reflects on the power of colour, he also shares evocative memories from his own childhood and illustrious career, as well as his struggles with deteriorating health. Written just before Jarman's death, Chroma is an intensely personal work that seeks to memorialise the extraordinary power of colour in a world where it receded from his own life.
