In Chroma, his most poetic and lyrical book, Derek Jarman explores the uses of color. Shifting across the spectrum and from the medieval to the modern, he draws on the work of great color 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 seeking to memorialize the extraordinary power of color even while it receded from his own life.
