Derek Jarman was a very English rebel, a maverick and radical artist whose unique anddistinctive voice was honed protesting against the strictures of life in post-war Britain. Inan innovative practice that roamed freely across all varieties of media, Jarman refused tolive and die quietly. He defined bohemian London life in the 1960s, exploded into queerpunk in the 70s and with unbounded creative rage, ingenuity and sheer personal charm,he triumphed over an atmosphere of fear and ignorance in the age of AIDS to producetimeless, eloquent works of art which resonate still more strongly today.
