Derek Jarman
Derek Jarman (1942-1994) was an English artist, filmmaker, stage designer, diarist, author, and gardener. After attending King’s College London and the Slade School of Art, he began a career as a painter. He also became a set designer, working on such productions as The Royal Ballet’s Jazz Calendar (1968) and The English National Opera’s production of Don Giovanni (1968), as well as a number of films. In the early 1970s, Jarman began a series of filmworks made with Super 8, followed by his first full-length feature film, Sebastiane, in 1975. He went on to make ten more feature films, among them the famous experimental biographies, Caravaggio (1986) and The Garden (1990). His final feature, Blue, was first shown at the Biennale Arte, Venice, in June 1993, seven months before his death.
