Derek Jarman "Chroma: A Book of Color"

•

The director of "Caravaggio","Blue","The Last English",'The Garden","The Storm" and "Wittgenstein", proposes a colorful anthropology of culture, which in its assumptions is as simple as revolutionary. He wrote "The Book of Colors" at the very edge of his life - losing sight and being aware of the inevitable death of AIDS-related complications. To some extent the unobvious autobiography of the father of a new queer cinema, one of the pioneers of postmodern filmmaking."

Tadeusz Sobolewski

The book stands out visually with the simplicity of the typographic means applied, black and white. Selecting it from other books on the shelf, we are rewarded with a fey of sparkling, rainbow colors all over the book's surface. This is a subtle link to the content of the book and to attitude of the author's life.
