Un'esplorazione poetica, appassionata e intensamente personale del colore scritta durante l'ultimo anno di vita di Derek Jarman, con una nuova introduzione di Ali Smith. In Chroma, il suo libro più poetico e lirico, Derek Jarman esplora gli usi del colore. Passando attraverso lo spettro e dal medioevo al moderno, attinge al lavoro di grandi teorici del colore da Plinio a Leonardo. Intrecciati a queste riflessioni ci sono ricordi evocativi dell'infanzia di Jarman e della sua illustre carriera, insieme a riflessioni sulla sua salute in deterioramento. Scritta un anno prima della morte di Jarman, e mentre la sua vista stava peggiorando, questa è un'opera intensamente personale; un peana di un artista che cerca di commemorare lo straordinario potere del colore anche mentre si allontanava dalla sua stessa vita.

Derek Jarman was born in London in 1942. His career spanned decades and genres, from painter, theatre designer, director, film maker, to poet, writer, campaigner and gardener. His features include Sebastiane (1976), Jubilee (1978), Caravaggio (1986), The Last of England (1987), Edward II (1991) and Blue (1993). His paintings – for which he was a Turner Prize nominee in 1986 – continue to be exhibited worldwide, and his garden in Dungeness remains a site of pilgrimage to fans and newcomers alike.
In Chroma, his most poetic and lyrical book, Derek Jarman explores the uses of colour. Shifting across the spectrum and from the medieval to the modern, he draws on the work of great colour theorists from Pliny to Leonardo. Interwoven with these musings are evocative memories from Jarman's childhood and illustrious career, along with reflections on his deteriorating health. Written a year before Jarman's death, and as his eyesight was failing, this is an intensely personal work; a paean from an artist seek
