DEREK JARMAN: A BIOGRAPHY
Book ID/图书代码： 12751011B45626
English Summary/英文概要： Fueled by vodka on ice, the occasional hit of Ecstasy, acid, opium, and innumerable cigarettes, and following an unwavering artistic vision, filmmaker and artist Derek Jarman, who died of AIDS-related causes in 1994, led an outrageous and controversial life. In Derek Jarman: A Biography, Tony Peake delves for the origins of the energetic imagination that led to distinctive films like Sebastiane, Jubilee, The Tempest, Caravaggio, Wittgenstein, and Blue.
Peake’s book is a vivid social and cultural history-an edgy account of a bohemian existence and of a scene of friends that included artists David Hockney, Robert Mapplethorpe, and many other members of the creative Avant-garde. A chronicle of sexual fear and repression and inimitable courage and grace in the face of a protracted death, Derek Jarman: A Biography is an honest and brilliant tribute to the uncompromising life and art of Derek Jarman.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 艺术家、电影制作人Derek Jarman于1994年因艾滋过世，他与烟酒为伍的一生是勇于创新和备受争议的。在本书中，Tony Peake探讨了艺术家本人灵感的来源，是什么让他得以创作出例如Sebastiane、Jubilee以及Blue等总共十一部伟大的作品。
Peake的书生动地描绘了Derek狂放不羁的社会形象和他在文化历史中的意义，还参考了不少先锋艺术家朋友、包括David Hockney、Robert Mapplethorpe等等对于Derek的认识。从对自己性取向的恐惧，到压抑，到最终的勇气和优雅地面对必然到来的死亡，本书诚实地向Derek Jarman从不妥协的人生和艺术追求致敬。（LYR）
