Summary:

Derek Jarman: A Portrait unravels the complexity and meaning of Jarman's vision by looking at all aspects of his creativity. Published here are images from not only his late work, but also sculpture and paintings from all periods of his career, as well as dramatic photographs of stage sets and film stills, and moving images of the garden he created at Dungeness. Specially commissioned essays explore the artistic, personal and political dynamism which drove all his work. The exposure here of shared themes, ideas and influences provides fresh insights into Jarman's creative mind, and forces us to look again at one of the most intriguing and controversial personalities of our time.
